Surf's Up
There is more to PPG Surf's Up (PPG1236-3) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. With an LRV of 74, it sits on the light-reflective side of the palette and can feel especially open in generous daylight. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
