Behr

I Heart Potion

P100-5

This shade is a medium orchid-purple with a gray-pink base. It feels playful but softened. It fits a closet, powder room, or refinished case piece where the color can be intentional.

On walls, the violet note becomes clearer beside white millwork. Use cream textiles and dark wood for balance nearby. Warm bulbs may bring out the pink side. Avoid yellow-beige finishes if a cleaner purple is the goal.
