Glidden

Operated by PPG Industries. United States.

A name and an alphanumeric code following PPG's shared conventions, which means a Glidden code and a PPG Paints code look alike without being interchangeable.

What Colourwise can tell you about Glidden

Colourwise holds no Glidden colour data — no names, no codes, no digital values, no LRVs. A PPG property covered by PPG's shared terms. The site hosting the terms could not be reached during this review, so several fields are marked unclear rather than assumed. Unclear is a refusal here, so the practical outcome is identical to PPG's — but saying so matters, because it shows which findings were read and which were inferred.

For any actual colour value, go to Glidden’s own site, which is where the authoritative and current version lives.

The colour system

Size of the range: A mid-sized consumer range within the PPG group, positioned below PPG Paints and sold largely through general retail rather than trade counters.
Collections: Glidden Premium
Glidden Essentials
Range names only. The colours within them are not reproduced here.
What the manufacturer publishes: Names, codes and collection membership are published on the product pages. Digital values and LRV are not surfaced as consistently as on the PPG Paints professional side.
Worth knowing: Operated by PPG and covered by PPG's shared terms of use rather than its own, which is why its assessment is inherited rather than independently read.

What is published, and what Colourwise may use

Two separate columns on purpose. A value being visible on a public page says nothing about whether it may be republished — that is what the terms of use decide, and here they say no.

Terms of use

Glidden is named as one of the sites covered by PPG's shared terms of use. The site hosting those terms could not be reached during this review, so the finding is inherited from PPG's own legal notices rather than read at source.

What would change the answer

Reading privacy.ppg.com's terms of use at source, then the same narrow permission question as PPG.
