Pale Purple

8003-1A

Valspar Pale Purple is really a pale lavender gray, with very little saturation. But it is not icy. The color can soften a dressing room, nursery, or ceiling without shouting purple.

In north light, expect the gray side to come forward. Pair it with chalky white, brushed nickel, or cool taupe fabrics, and test it beside any beige carpet. Cool tile can sharpen it.
