Glidden

Pepperberry

PPG1055-4

Pepperberry is a muted rose-taupe with a warm red-brown undertone. Red-brown warmth keeps it grounded. Bedrooms, dining rooms, or painted furniture can take it when beige feels too plain.

Across full walls, the rosy cast becomes more obvious beside white trim. Cream and dark wood help it feel grounded. Cool blue textiles can strengthen the undertone, so test with fabrics.
