Glidden

Pine Whisper

PPG1134-4

Pine Whisper is a soft silvery green with a cool gray base. The effect is calm. It can bring gentle color to a bedroom, bath, or nursery without turning sweet.

On walls, the gray keeps the green quiet, especially beside white tile or pale wood. Warm bulbs will make it feel slightly earthier. Avoid pairing Pine Whisper with heavy off-white trim if the goal is a clean green-gray. Sample beside grout lines.
