Suddenly Sapphire
There is more to PPG Suddenly Sapphire (PPG1242-7) than the swatch alone: its depth, undertones and setting all shape the final impression. Its LRV of 10 gives it real visual weight, allowing the color to hold a wall rather than simply recede from view. Its related shades below reveal where the color harmonizes—and where contrast brings it fully to life.
