Glidden

Strawflower

PPG1052-3

On a pantry door, Strawflower is a muted peach-pink with a beige softness. It feels warm and powdery. On walls, it suits bedrooms, baths, and cottage dining rooms where color should be gentle but present.

Its bright value keeps full-room color soft rather than heavy. Bring in cream trim, aged brass, or soft blue textiles. If the space has orange oak floors, sample first, because warmth can stack quickly.
