Purple Hibiscus

8001-48C

Purple Hibiscus is a pale lavender that leans blue and stays clear. It reads brighter on full walls. Reserve it in baths, bedrooms, or craft rooms where gentle color is welcome.

Its light lavender value keeps it usable, but it is not a white substitute. For Purple Hibiscus, chalky white trim plus polished nickel. Warm bulbs mellow the blue edge.
