Glidden

Ethereal

PPG1088-2

Ethereal gives a bedroom or living room a creamy near-white finish when pure white would expose every shadow. Warm beige sits underneath. Bright daylight keeps it soft rather than stark, and evening lamps bring out a creamier side.

Aged wood, soft black accents, or linen shades keep it grounded. Compare the sample after sunset if the room is used mostly at night. Cool trim will make the warmth more obvious.

Ethereal in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
