The Palest Cool Grey
The Glide Cool Grey series uses a numerical system (3, 6, 7, 9) that corresponds to increasing grey value levels. Cool Grey 3 (10CG3) is the lightest -- a barely-there pale cool grey that reads almost as a very cool near-white. On the lightest blue-grey and pale cool-grey fabrics, it integrates as a near-neutral with a slight cool quality rather than as a visible grey thread. It is the cool-grey equivalent of First Kiss in the pink family -- present as a color tendency, invisible as a distinct thread.
