Glidden

Guardian Angel

PPG1247-2

Even pale purple shifts. Guardian Angel brings bright pale lavender-gray color with a cool softness. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, and ceilings when white feels too plain.

The purple is barely there. Clean white trim keeps the lavender-gray fresh, and pale wood makes the light room warmer. Warm lamps will pull it slightly pinker, so judge the sample in the evening before choosing bedding.
