Mysterious
PPG Mysterious (PPG1037-6) carries the measured structure of its color data and the less predictable beauty of paint in a finished space. Its LRV of 11 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. The manufacturer's description below offers one reading; the room imagery leaves space for your own.
