Glidden

Frosted Tulip

PPG1188-2

Frosted Tulip looks fresh rather than dusty, with pale pink and an almost coral undertone. Bedrooms, nurseries, and powder rooms suit it beside ivory trim and simple fabrics. Pale oak or warm brass adds softness.

On full walls, the pink becomes more visible than the chip. Stark blue-white paint will make it sweeter, so avoid that contrast unless it is truly the goal. The coral is gentle.
