Tinsel

PPG1012-3

Tinsel is a pale blue gray that stays airy and soft. Cooler than plain white. Use it in bathrooms, laundry rooms, or bedrooms with good trim contrast and enough light to show the color.

Chrome, glass, and white tile all suit it. Under warm lamps, it can settle into a balanced gray, but north light may make the blue side clearer.

Tinsel 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.
