Glidden

Freedom Found

PPG1040-6

Freedom Found has enough depth for contrast without becoming a true navy. Bathroom vanities, built-ins, interior doors, and office walls are strong uses for its muted medium slate. Tan leather and creamy trim act as counterweights.

In shaded rooms, it can become more charcoal. With LRV 45, the color will not carry a dim hallway by itself. It has a practical character.

Freedom Found 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.
