Julep Green

PPG1146-3

Julep Green is a light blue-green gray with a soft spa-like quality. It works well in bathrooms, bedrooms, and laundry rooms where a pale neutral needs a little freshness. Its high reflectance makes the blue-green undertone feel washed and misty.

White tile makes it cleaner, and warm wood keeps it from feeling too cool. If the space has little daylight, use warm bulbs to prevent a flat gray cast.

Julep Green 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.
