Shadowy
There is more to PPG Shadowy (PPG0998-4) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. An LRV of 34 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. Because screens flatten both light and texture, sample the paint beside the finishes that will ultimately surround it.
