Glidden

Lover's Knot

PPG1186-1

Lover's Knot is a barely there blush that behaves like a warm white with a pink veil. It can flatter bedrooms, dressing rooms, and powder baths that need softness without looking like nursery paint. The pink stays delicate.

Bright southern sun may make it sweeter, so compare it with trim and tile in the actual room. Antique brass works better here than icy chrome.
