Cotton Tail

PPG0998-1

Cotton Tail is a creamy white with a yellow-beige undertone. The light value keeps rooms bright, with a noticeable cream cast. Cream is the point.

As wall color, it can take the edge off bright rooms without turning heavy. Traditional trim, warm wood floors, or cream-toned stone all sit comfortably beside it. Cool white cabinets may make the warmth more obvious. In north light, Cotton Tail stays pleasant, but it will not look like a pure white.
