Purple Gala

4002-10A

Purple Gala is a soft violet with a slightly pink undertone. It feels dressy. In a bedroom, dressing nook, or bath, it can give the space color without the weight of eggplant.

The mid value still needs thoughtful trim. For Purple Gala, Warm white plus silvered wood. Green accents can look pretty, but sample them so the palette does not turn floral.
