Glidden

Nutmeg Glow

PPG1080-3

Nutmeg Glow is a light caramel tan with a soft orange base. The warmth is clear. Breakfast areas and hallways feel sunnier with it, without needing bright yellow.

In rooms with strong afternoon light, the color may look more golden. With cool LEDs, it settles closer to beige. Pair with white oak, warm stone, or simple linen shades, and sample beside honey oak before committing.

Nutmeg Glow 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.
