Gleeful Joy

1001-3C

Gleeful Joy is a medium lavender with a gray, smoky undertone. It is deeper than playful. Try it in a powder room or on a painted dresser when purple should feel controlled.

The gray base helps, but the color still needs lighter partners around it. Pair with cream trim or dark walnut. Low light can move it toward muted plum, so judge it on a large board.
