Glidden

Ocean Cruise

PPG1236-4

Ocean Cruise is a light aqua-blue with enough saturation to show clearly. This is a cheerful color. It can lift a bath, playroom, or porch ceiling, especially with white trim and simple woven shades.

On larger walls, the blue-green note becomes stronger than it looks on a small chip. Warm bulbs will soften the freshness at night. Avoid pairing it with heavy beige unless the sample still looks clean.
