Glidden

Mulberry Bush

PPG1251-6

Mulberry Bush is a muted purple rose with a berry undertone. It has enough depth for a bedroom, powder room, or painted cabinet without becoming too dark. Berry gives it personality.

Ivory trim, warm brass, or charcoal textiles keep the palette grounded. Cool daylight can make it read more violet, so sample beside flooring. Red-veined stone can intensify the berry undertone.
