What Color Is Old Times Sake, Really?
Old Times Sake reads as a warm yellow tone — mid-tone — versatile but shifts visibly with light. The notes below cover how PPG / Glidden PPG11-05 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Old Times Sake
Old Times Sake 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 Old Times Sake
Old Times Sake sits in the mid-range at LRV 36, 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 Old Times Sake 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.
