Hint of Violet

2114-60

Hint of Violet is a soft lilac with a cool gray cast that produces a muted, understated appearance. With an LRV of 66.18, this shade reflects a moderate amount of light while maintaining its subtle character. The gray undertone keeps the lilac from appearing overly sweet, making it suitable for bedrooms or living rooms where a quiet, restful atmosphere is needed.

This color works well alongside Benjamin Moore Silver Satin, Gray Owl, and Wickham Gray for a cohesive cool palette, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy can provide grounding contrast.
