Valspar

Purple Freedom

4002-7C

Purple Freedom is a gray lavender blue with a quiet, misty cast. But it avoids candy purple. In a bedroom, bath, or sewing room, it can feel soft without turning pastel.

That middle depth gives enough color for full walls. For Purple Freedom, ivory plus pewter. Strong yellow bulbs can make the lavender warmer and slightly vintage. Keep bedding quiet.
