Glidden

Hawaiian Shell

PPG1055-2

Sample beside tile. Hawaiian Shell is a pale peach-pink white with a warm shell-like softness. It can flatter powder rooms, bedrooms, or baths where a standard white feels stark.

The blush is delicate. Cream trim lets the shell pink stay soft; warm metals keep it flattering. Against blue-gray tile, the peach may appear stronger, so sample beside the tile rather than judging it alone.
