Alpine Blue

PPG1149-1

Alpine Blue is a very pale blue-white with a whisper of gray. The color works nicely on ceilings, baths, and small rooms that need a cooler lift. On walls, it may read almost white until placed beside cream or warm wood.

Use it with polished nickel or clean white trim. Warm bulbs can soften the blue, but they will not make it beige. The gray makes the blue cleaner.
