Glidden

On The Edge

PPG0998-6

On The Edge is a neutral mid gray with a slight warm beige pull. Taupe warmth prevents a cold read. The color can support a home office, hallway, or secondary bedroom when a cooler gray would look sterile.

It is not light enough to behave like off-white, so use it with clear trim contrast. Warm bulbs bring out the taupe side. Black frames and pale upholstery make the room feel more finished.
