Glidden

Tenderness

PPG1133-2

Tenderness is a pale green gray with a soft, washed quality. The green stays delicate. It suits bedrooms, bathrooms, and quiet halls where a white wall would feel bare.

Pale wood and a softened white on trim keep the shade from drifting sterile. Strong pink undertones in tile or carpet may become more visible beside this color, so sample near both.

Tenderness 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.
