Sweet Illusion

PPG1243-1

Against warm brick, Sweet Illusion is a bright blue-gray white with a faint airy cast. The blue-gray cast shows clearly beside cream towels. Try it in bathrooms, laundry rooms, ceilings, or compact bedrooms that need a cool lift.

Since the value is so light, it may appear white until placed beside trim. Good companions include warm wood, cream towels, or brushed nickel. If the room already feels cold, use warmer bulbs before judging the sample.
