Drift of Mist: Sherwin-Williams’ February Color

As winter departs and spring whispers, homes crave balance and calm. Sherwin-Williams answers with their February Color of the Month, Drift of Mist (SW 9166). This ethereal, light-filled gray invites you to create a peaceful haven of timeless elegance.

Beyond Neutrals: A Subtle Gray

Drift of Mist transcends simple neutrals. Its subtle depth whispers quiet confidence, adapting to various design styles. Imagine it grounding bold patterns in a modern living room or softening classic furniture in a traditional bedroom. Drift of Mist isn’t about trends; it creates a foundation for lasting peace.

Light & Space: LVR 72.82

Rooms lacking natural light find salvation in Drift of Mist. Its light-reflective properties draw sunlight deeper, creating a spacious, airy feel. This makes it ideal for opening up compact spaces or bringing fresh air into darker rooms.

Here’s how Drift of Mist (LRV 72.82) might look in a room:

• Generally light and airy: Due to its high LRV and subtle gray-beige tone, Drift of Mist tends to create a light and airy feeling in a space. It won’t overwhelm or darken the room, even in areas with limited natural light.
• Warm or cool undertones: Depending on the lighting and surrounding colors, Drift of Mist can sometimes display subtle warm (greige) or cool (gray) undertones. In south-facing rooms with warm afternoon light, the greige warmth might be more noticeable, while north-facing rooms with cooler light might emphasize the gray tones.
• Versatile: Its neutral nature makes it surprisingly versatile, complementing various design styles and color palettes. You can pair it with bold accents, other neutrals, or even black and white for a modern touch.

However, remember that the actual appearance will still depend on various factors like:

• Lighting: As mentioned, natural and artificial light play a significant role. Experiment with different lighting scenarios to see how the color shifts.
• Room size: In smaller rooms, Drift of Mist can help make the space feel larger and brighter. However, in very large rooms, it might require warmer accents to avoid feeling sterile.
• Furniture and finishes: Consider the colors and finishes of your furniture, flooring, and other elements. Drift of Mist pairs well with both light and dark wood tones, but the overall balance is crucial.

Here are some resources to help you visualize Drift of Mist in your space:

• Sherwin-Williams website: They offer visualization tools and room inspiration photos featuring Drift of Mist.
• Design blogs and websites: Many online resources showcase real-life examples of Drift of Mist in various room settings.
• Paint sample: Get a physical paint sample and test it in different areas of your room under different lighting conditions.

Remember, ultimately, the best way to understand how Drift of Mist will look in your space is to see it for yourself! Don’t hesitate to experiment and have fun creating your desired atmosphere.

Unlike fleeting trends, Drift of Mist possesses an enduring quality. Its neutral essence acts as a blank canvas, ready for vibrant pops of color or statement pieces. This ensures your space remains chic and relevant as your tastes evolve, offering a foundation for future design explorations without demanding a complete overhaul.
