Glidden

Gaiety

PPG1184-1

Gaiety warms a dressing room, nursery, or bath with very bright pink-white and a faint blush undertone. The color is delicate. Clean white trim and pale wood keep it fresh.

Warm bulbs can bring out the rosy cast, especially near mirrors. If cream fixtures are already installed, compare carefully because the wall may look cooler by contrast. It should feel softly tinted, not obviously pink.

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.
