All 118 PPG / Glidden purple paint colors
Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from PPG / Glidden's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
Every purple here is mixed to order, not pulled off a shelf. Glidden and PPG Timeless are stocked at The Home Depot, while PPG Paints and Pittsburgh Paints & Stains sell through company stores and independent dealers. You bring the color name or code to the counter, choose your sheen and line, and a tinting machine mixes that exact shade into the can. (Note that PPG's US and Canada architectural brands moved to The Pittsburgh Paints Company in late 2024, so branding may still be in transition at some stores.)
Lines step up in price and durability from Glidden Essentials to Premium to Diamond, with PPG Timeless and PPG Diamond on the architectural side. Because these are standard fan-deck colors, any paint counter can also color-match a chip from another brand, and a shade like Lavender Vista or Grape Juice can be cross-matched to or from other US decks, including the featured Kompozit line. Always buy a sample and test it on your own wall first, since lighting and matching tolerances shift how a purple reads.
Light to Dark
The whole PPG / Glidden purple range by depth. LRV is the number to trust — the same purple looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.
LRV (Light Reflectance Value) tells you how much light a color bounces back, on a scale where higher numbers are lighter. In this slice the purples range from an LRV of 84 at the lightest down to 6 at the darkest, so you can find a shade for almost any role. Love Bird at 84 and Angora Pink at 76 stay airy and easy to live with, behaving almost like soft neutrals on a big wall.
The middle of the range is where purple starts to feel like a real color choice. Lavender Vista at 71 and Dusky Lilac at 62 still keep a room bright, Windsor Purple at 48 reads as a confident mid-tone, and Heather Glen at 30 turns moody. Grape Popsicle at 19 and Grape Juice at 14 are dramatic and best used where you want a room to feel enveloping.
PPG / Glidden Purples by Room
Each room page shows purple picks from every US brand side by side — PPG / Glidden included — so you can compare in context.
The light lilacs work almost anywhere you want calm. Love Bird and Lavender Vista suit bedrooms, nurseries, and bathrooms because they stay soft in daylight and don't fight with linens or tile. Angora Pink is a gentle pick for a bedroom or a hallway that needs a little warmth without going full pink.
Mid-tones and deep grapes ask for more intention. Windsor Purple or Heather Glen can anchor a feature wall, a powder room, or a home office where you want focus. Save Grape Popsicle and Grape Juice for accent walls, a dramatic dining room, or cabinetry and built-ins, since at those low LRVs they read close to a jewel tone and can shrink a small bright room if used everywhere.

The Character of PPG and Glidden Purples
PPG and Glidden pull from one of the largest paint libraries in the country, and that depth shows up in the purple family. You get 122 purples here that run from barely-there to deeply saturated. At the soft end, names like Love Bird and Angora Pink read more like a warm whisper of color than a true purple, while Lavender Vista and Dusky Lilac sit in classic lilac territory.
Undertones across this slice lean two ways. Lighter picks like Angora Pink carry a pink-leaning warmth, while mid-tones such as Windsor Purple and Heather Glen pull cooler and grayer. The darkest members, Grape Popsicle and Grape Juice, are rich and grape-toned with real depth.
Pairing With Trim, Ceiling, and Coordinating Colors
Purples almost always look best against a clean trim and ceiling. A soft, slightly warm white like Glidden's Delicate White keeps the millwork crisp without going stark, which flatters both the pale lilacs and the deep grapes. For a cooler, more architectural look, a true white trim sharpens mid-tones like Windsor Purple.
For coordinating walls, keep contrast deliberate. A light lilac such as Lavender Vista pairs naturally with greige and soft gray neutrals, while a deep purple like Grape Juice loves a grounding charcoal or a moody green such as Glidden's Night Watch. If you want a monochromatic scheme, stack two purples from this slice that are far apart in LRV, for example Angora Pink walls with a Grape Popsicle accent.
The Questions Everyone Asks
How many purple paint colors do PPG and Glidden offer?
This slice of the PPG and Glidden deck has 122 colors in the purple family. They span from very light lilacs like Love Bird down to deep grape tones like Grape Juice, so you have a wide range to choose from within a single brand.
What is the lightest and darkest purple in this range?
The lightest is Love Bird at an LRV of 84, which stays soft and airy on a wall. The darkest in this slice sits at an LRV of 6, with named deep tones like Grape Juice (LRV 14) and Grape Popsicle (LRV 19) anchoring the dramatic end.
Which purple should I pick for a small or low-light room?
Lean toward a higher LRV so the room stays bright. Love Bird at 84 or Lavender Vista at 71 keep a small space feeling open, while deep choices like Grape Juice can make it feel smaller and darker unless that cozy effect is what you want.
What trim color works with these purples?
A soft warm white like Glidden's Delicate White flatters both the pale lilacs and the deep grapes without looking stark. For mid-tones like Windsor Purple, a crisper true white sharpens the contrast on trim and ceilings.
Where can I buy these colors and how are they mixed?
Glidden and PPG Timeless are sold at The Home Depot, while PPG Paints and Pittsburgh Paints & Stains sell through company stores and independent dealers. Each color is mixed to order at the counter, so you give the name or code, pick your line and sheen, and the machine tints that exact shade.
Can I match a PPG or Glidden purple to another brand?
Yes. Because these are standard deck colors, any paint counter can color-match a chip, so a shade like Lavender Vista or Grape Juice can be cross-matched to or from other US brands, including the featured Kompozit deck. Buy a sample and test it on your own wall first, since matching tolerances and lighting affect how the purple looks.
