Potpourri

PPG1058-1

Potpourri is a very pale pink-beige with a warm, powdery cast. The pink-beige cast flatters soft light. Potpourri can warm bedrooms, dressing rooms, or hallways where plain white feels harsh.

On one broad surface, Potpourri may read closer to blush plaster than cream. Pair Potpourri with ivory trim or pale oak. Cool marble can make this pink more obvious. Test Potpourri beside fixed tile before using it across connected spaces.

Potpourri in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
