Valspar

Native Lilac

4001-4A

Native Lilac is a smoky purple-gray with very low saturation. It feels dusky, not floral. The shade can suit a bedroom or reading corner when the room needs softness but not sweetness.

Silver hardware emphasizes the cool side. Warm white trim keeps the purple from feeling chilly. Because the color sits in a deep midrange, use a larger sample to see how quickly it darkens after sunset.

Native Lilac 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.
