Glidden

Ground Coffee

PPG1076-7

Depth needs nearby lift. Ground Coffee is a deep warm brown with a soft, smoky undertone. It can anchor a library, powder room vanity, or exterior accent where black would feel too flat.

The shade is dense. Cream walls give the brown contrast; brass warms the deep finish. Since the LRV sits in the low 30s, give it lighting or pale neighboring surfaces.

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.
