PPGPPG1203-2

Mimosa

PPG Mimosa (PPG1203-2) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. With an LRV of 81, 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.
