In The Shadows
There is more to PPG In The Shadows (PPG1039-6) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its LRV of 15 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
