Mental Note

PPG1120-1

Mental Note is a bright off white carrying a muted green yellow cast. It can work across main walls when the house has warm floors and needs a lighter backdrop. The color is not cold.

Mental Note can take cream trim, light oak, or sage accents. Cool northern light may make the green side a little clearer, so check a sample in place.
