Foggy Day

Also known as: Mountain Grey, Toque White, Origami White, Zürich White

Part of the orange family, Foggy Day pairs a pale base with a friendly and enthusiastic presence — ideal for autumn palettes and friendly UI accents. Its complement lands in blue territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (16.41:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Foggy Day works

  • Web & UI: Too light for text, ideal as a background wash that keeps a page from feeling sterile.
  • Interiors: Wall-to-wall safe: it behaves like a white with personality, especially in north-facing rooms.
  • Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
  • Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
  • Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
  • Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
