Fields of Heather

8001-47D

Fields of Heather is a medium blue-lavender with a softened gray base. It feels cool and slightly romantic. A bedroom, dressing area, or studio can handle it where purple should stay visible without going sugary.

The color needs daylight to stay clear. Warm lamps pull it a little rosier. Clean white trim and pale wood keep it readable. Beige carpet may mute the blue side.
