Glidden

Silver Dollar

PPG1022-3

Silver Dollar is a soft taupe-gray warmed by a beige undertone. It feels easy and polished. Run it through halls, bedrooms, or open living areas where beige feels too warm and gray feels too cold.

A full wall lets surrounding finishes steer it, so fixed flooring matters. Use a warm white trim with black hardware. Pink-beige tile can bring out the taupe side more than expected.
