Dahlia

Dahlia is a cool, muted purple with soft blue undertones that shift it toward periwinkle rather than plum or magenta. Its LRV of 32 puts it in the medium range, deep enough to register as a definite color statement but light enough to avoid making a room feel closed in. The blue influence gives it a cooler temperature than most purples, reading more cerebral than warm.

SW Mindful Gray and SW Alabaster pair well as lighter neutral counterparts that let Dahlia's hue come forward. SW Naval provides tonal depth, while SW Debonair and SW Temperate Taupe extend the palette in analogous directions.
