Valspar

Lilac Muse

7004-3

Lilac Muse is a near-white with a barely warm gray cast, much less purple than the name implies. Its warmth barely whispers. Use it where a bright wall should avoid starkness, such as a bedroom, hall, or trim-adjacent living area.

Against cool whites, it may look warmer. Look to soft gray fabrics or pale oak for contrast. Since the color is very light, sheen changes will matter more than undertone.

Lilac Muse 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.
