Misty Lilac

2071-70

Misty Lilac (2071-70) is a very light purple with an LRV of 77.95, registering almost as an off-white with a violet tint. Its primary undertone is cool violet, accompanied by a faint blue cast that keeps it from leaning pink. Because of its high light reflectance, the purple reads as a whisper rather than a statement, and it can appear nearly white in bright, south-facing rooms.

It shares a color family with Lily Lavender (2071-60) for a tonal progression, and coordinates with White Violet (1408), Spring Violet (2117-50), Tundra (2133-70), and Chantilly Lace (OC-65).
