Valspar

Lavender Blaze

V001-2

Lavender Blaze is a medium purple with a pink-violet center. It has more saturation than a quiet lilac. A dressing room, creative studio, or painted furniture piece can let the color be the main event.

Daylight brings out the violet. Warm lamps soften it toward orchid. Look to off-white trim and dark wood for contrast. Keep nearby colors simple.
