Glidden

Bleached Maple

PPG1089-5

The yellow base is clear. Bleached Maple is a golden tan with the warmth of raw wood. It can make a family room, kitchen walls, or hall feel sunny without using a stronger yellow.

The mid-light value gives it more substance than cream. White oak, bronze hardware, or olive fabric can support the warmth. In very warm afternoon light, the color may move toward honey.
