Hint Of Violet

PPU16-08

Hint Of Violet is a very pale cool lavender-gray. The hint is real. This shade can work in bedrooms, closets, or baths where plain white feels unfinished.

Across wall space, it will show more color beside simple white trim than on the chip. Hint Of Violet works near silver metal and soft white bedding. Warm beige floors may pull it grayer. Sample at night, since bulb temperature can decide whether it feels calm or chilly.
