Valspar

Dried Lilacs

V075-6

Dried Lilacs is a deep smoky violet with a muted gray-brown base. The purple stays reserved. Choose it for a powder room, a paneled alcove, or the back of built-in shelves when black feels too hard.

It will absorb light, so plan on lamps instead of judging it from overhead cans alone. Creamy trim warms the edge; polished nickel makes the violet cleaner. Sample a large board, because tiny chips understate its depth.

Dried Lilacs in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
