Glidden

High Sierra

PPG1149-2

High Sierra reads as a pale misted blue-gray with a soft greenish cast. A bathroom or laundry room can open up and still stay calmer than a clear blue. The shade feels fresh.

Light oak warms it, and a crisp white on trim gives the pale blue-gray definition. Warm bulbs will soften the blue, but cool daylight keeps the airy gray side visible.
