Glidden

St. Augustine

PPG1130-3

Against ivory paint, St. Augustine is a pale leafy green with a gray-softened finish. It is bright and gentle.

This suits a bedroom, bath, porch, or breakfast room where a natural green should stay quiet. The color works with warm white trim, rattan, and light oak. It can look almost neutral in bright daylight, then greener in the evening. Be careful beside strong blue-grays if freshness matters.
