Drift of Mist Sherwin-Williams · SW 9166 LRV 59
Drift of Mist review: Sherwin-Williams SW 9166
cool-leaning greige.
A cool-leaning greige that holds up better than warmer neutrals in rooms with strong north light, where warm grays can start to look muddy.
Drift of Mist in real light
Same sample board, four compass directions: this is the standardized shot list every color on this site gets, so you can compare across colors and not just across one photographer's living room. Photos for this color are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from the color's undertone.
North light North light amplifies Drift of Mist's cool or green cast; expect the truest read of its undertone here, for better or worse.
East light Morning east light is warm and golden, so Drift of Mist looks brightest and warmest early in the day, then cools and flattens by afternoon as the light moves west.
South light South light is bright and warm most of the day, which can soften Drift of Mist's cooler undertone without erasing it.
West light Afternoon west light is warm and can run intense right at sunset, then goes flat and cool in the morning before the sun reaches that side of the house.
What to pair Drift of Mist with
- White trim and black fixtures for a modern farmhouse look
- Cooler wood tones like white oak or ash
