Fond Memory

PPG1017-3

A quiet blush note runs through Fond Memory, a light taupe-pink neutral that sits between beige and warm gray. Bedrooms, dressing rooms, and halls suit it when beige feels too yellow and gray feels too cold. Brushed brass and muted plum textiles bring out its softer side.

Daylight may flatten it toward warm gray. Lamps reveal the rose. At night, warm lamps can pull the rosy side forward.

Fond Memory 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.
