Glidden

Hourglass

PPG1022-1

Test the beige side. Hourglass is a bright warm gray-beige, soft enough for full walls and cleaner than cream. It can make bedrooms, entries, and living rooms feel calm.

High value keeps entries open. White oak and off-white trim suit the bright greige without cooling it down. Cool marble or blue-gray carpet may bring out the beige side, so compare materials together.

Hourglass in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
