Glidden

Brandied Pears

PPG1086-2

Brandied Pears is a bright creamy neutral with a beige-gold undertone that feels refined rather than sugary. Use it where cream should feel polished, such as bedrooms, living rooms, or trim in a traditional home. It reflects light well and sits easily beside oak, flax linen, and brass.

Against cool gray tile, the warmth becomes more visible. The gold is gentle.
