Cool Yellow
Cool Yellow is a yellow paint color from PPG, but its character reaches beyond a single label. With an LRV of 82, it sits on the light-reflective side of the palette and can feel especially open in generous daylight. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
