Glidden

Butterscotch Bliss

PPG1106-5

Butterscotch Bliss is a warm golden tan with an orange undertone, richer than beige but still usable. It suits entries, breakfast nooks, or lower cabinets where warmth and personality matter. The value can handle walls, though the saturation has presence and needs contrast from trim or counters.

Cream trim, black hardware, or walnut can ground it. Caramel comes through clearly.
