What Color Is Gremlin, Really?
Gremlin reads as a warm yellow tone — mid-tone — versatile but shifts visibly with light. The notes below cover how PPG / Glidden PPG1110-5 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Gremlin
Gremlin is versatile enough for full rooms but has enough depth to anchor a space, so it suits living rooms, bedrooms and cabinetry alike. Yellows lift kitchens, hallways and kids' rooms with warmth.
How Lighting Changes Gremlin
Gremlin sits in the mid-range at LRV 32, so it shifts visibly through the day — lighter and more open in morning light, deeper and moodier after dark. Its yellow undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. South-facing rooms will pull it lighter and warmer, while north light cools it down.
Most complaints about Gremlin 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.
