Pastel Purple Colors
Pastel Purple starts as misty lilac gray and moves toward a clearer pale lavender. It appears in bedrooms, nurseries, baths, laundry rooms, and soft painted furniture where strong purple would be too much.

Using pastel purple in your home
Pastel Purple works best with matte textures and gentle contrast. Use it in bedrooms, baths, nurseries, or a laundry room with creamy trim, warm gray, pale oak, sage, or brushed nickel. North light can make it cooler and slightly gray. South light shows more pink. Do not skip a board. Hazy Oasis and Pastel Lavender can look washed out beside bright white tile.
