Glidden

February Frost

PPG1173-2

Lavender-blue hides quietly inside February Frost, a pale gray that can make baths and bedrooms feel clean without the hard edge of blue white. Silvered wood and soft charcoal define the color nicely. Warm beige carpet may expose the purple note, so sample near the floor line.

In bright daylight, the shade can approach off-white, especially overhead. The coolness is quiet.
