Spun Cotton

PPG1203-1

Spun Cotton is a warm creamy white with a pale beige-yellow cast. The softness is the point. It works well on walls, trim, and ceilings in rooms with warm floors or traditional furnishings.

At this high value, sheen changes can be obvious, especially between cabinets and drywall. Set it beside muted clay, moss green, or aged brass. Cool gray tile may make it look creamier.
