Glidden

Velvet Scarf

PPG1248-3

Velvet Scarf is a pale lavender gray with a cool, airy finish. It whispers violet. Bedrooms, baths, or a dressing area suit it when softness matters more than contrast.

Clean white trim and silver accents keep it refined. Warm beige carpet can make the lavender more noticeable, so test it beside floors and upholstery before painting the room. Try cooler bedding.
