Glidden

Palmetto

PPG1146-5

Palmetto is a muted blue-green with a soft gray cast. It feels coastal without going bright. The color can carry bathroom walls, kitchen cabinets, or a porch door when paired with simple materials.

At medium value, it has enough body to avoid looking washed out. Warm wood keeps it relaxed. Clean white trim makes the blue-green clearer. Avoid heavy cream if freshness matters.
