Cool Melon

PPG1057-2

Cool Melon is a soft coral-pink with a milky peach base. The warmth stays gentle. The pale value keeps the blush airy instead of sugary.

On a wall, it feels more like blush fabric than fruit color, especially when paired with linen, pale oak, or warm white trim. It suits nurseries, dressing rooms, and small baths that need a little color without a loud edge. Strong western sun can push the peach forward, so test it late in the day.
