Glidden

Evening Glow

PPG1205-5

Use it where golden apricot can lead. Evening Glow brings bright golden apricot heat quickly, which makes it better for a pantry door, breakfast bench, or small ceiling than for a busy open room. Simple flooring and calm furnishings keep the warmth from turning sweet.

Cream, pale oak, and handmade tile are natural partners. Very cool LED lamps can clean up the yellow and shift the mood from buttery to almost citrus.

Evening Glow 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.
