Pigeon Feather

PPG0995-4

Pigeon Feather is a warm gray with a very soft beige undertone. On walls, it feels understated. Try it in living rooms, halls, or bedrooms where gray should stay easy.

Use ivory trim, then add black accents for warmth. A full surface can look warmer beside blue fabrics. In spaces with little daylight, add texture so the pale neutral does not feel flat.
