Color of The Month
Drift of Mist
SW 9166
Craft a cozy haven of airy serenity with a soft gray. Drift of Mist’s humble, calming character calls to mind a slower pace and the joy in simplicity.
Why We Love It
Keeping It Simple
Simple meets cozy in a design style that’s a perfect match for February’s Mindful Minimalist palette. This collection of tonal hues, anchored by Drift of Mist, embodies the essence of a style that blends delicate minimalism and warm elegance. It’s a look that gets its sense of tranquil harmony from its soft, muted shades, clean lines and spaciousness. Skyline Steel, the featured color in the living room, balances the minimalist character of the space with its warm, comforting shade.

Relaxed & Restful
Drift of Mist’s soft gray tone provides a serene backdrop and sets the tone for a soothing sanctuary. It’s a restful space of quiet beauty that takes on the peaceful, calming vibes of this honest shade. A Quarry Stone-covered accent wall adds definition and subtle contrast, anchoring the space in its slightly deeper, putty tone. Coordinating shades in the textiles and furniture evoke the simple harmony of nature.

Clean & Serene
Bathed in the light airiness of Drift of Mist’s soft hue, any space instantly takes on an oasis atmosphere of quiet calm. With an abundance of natural light and open space, the serene vibes at the heart of this style fill the room. This shade’s easy ability to shift its character with the light gives it the sense of clean minimalism this look thrives on while also bringing a feeling of comforting warmth. What better way to blend impressions than with a truly versatile, neutral shade.

I have Drift of Mist on walls in a small kitchen and white trim. Appliances are stainless steel. Countertops are white. I need a color to brighten up the room. Trying to stay in the coastal farmhouse pallette, what cabinet color would you suggest. Other colors used on walls in other rooms are Sea Salt and Tradewinds. The living and dining rooms are open to the kitchen. Those walls are all Drift of Mist.
Hello Debora! have you considered a two tone look for your cabinets. Consider using Sea Salt or Tradewinds just on your lower cabinets and then using Drift of Mist on the upper cabinets. Painting your walls and upper cabinets the same color will make your kitchen feel brighter and bigger with a more cohesive palette.
Which white color for ceilings would you recommend with Drift of Mist? (Also, my cabinets will be Taupe Tone.)
Thank you!
Beth
Hello Beth, consider using a clean white like Ceiling Bright White SW 7007 with the soft Drift of Mist SW 9166 on your walls. A clean white would work best with your walls and cabinets.
Will Drift of Mist work with Alabaster trim?
Hi Penelope, Drift of Mist SW 9166 is a very light gray and looks best paired with clean whites without any undertones.
Alabaster SW 7008 has a yellow undertone that may look dingy next to Drift of Mist.
