Glidden

Stained Glass

PPG1165-6

For a den, Stained Glass is a deep blue with a muted slate-violet base. The violet-slate base suits walnut shelves and lamplight. Save it for built-ins, a study, an accent ceiling, or exterior shutters where a darker blue is wanted without going navy-black.

The LRV of 39 gives it depth, so lighter trim and good lamps matter. Support it with walnut, warm white, or antique brass. Too much cool gray nearby can make it severe.

Stained Glass 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.
