What Color Is Moon Lily, Really?
Moon Lily reads as a neutral with no strong undertone — very light — near-white, broadens small spaces. The notes below cover how Glidden PPG1168-1 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Moon Lily
Moon Lily shines on ceilings, trim and in small or low-light rooms where you need to stretch the light — and as a calm whole-home backdrop. As a white, it's a natural for trim, ceilings and cabinets, and a clean backdrop for art.
How Lighting Changes Moon Lily
Moon Lily is very light — LRV 79, close to white. It opens up small or dim rooms and keeps walls feeling airy. Because it carries almost no measurable hue, it stays a true neutral and pairs cleanly with nearly any trim or floor. In north light it can read slightly cooler; a warm white trim alongside keeps it from going clinical.
Most complaints about Moon Lily are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
