Glidden

Firecracker

PPG1190-6

Firecracker claims attention through muted coral-red warmth, so give it a surface that wants to be noticed. Powder room walls, painted sideboards, and exterior accents are stronger uses than background walls. Creamy whites, straw shades, and deep charcoal balance the punch.

This shade exposes undertone conflicts fast. If nearby finishes already carry orange or pink, compare samples in place before committing.
