Valspar

Purple Stripe

1003-3B

Purple Stripe is a muted orchid mauve, pinker than many purple names. The gray in it keeps the color from going sweet. It can suit a bedroom, dressing room, or powder room with stone tile.

Because it is deep, use lighter trim and simple fabrics. For Purple Stripe, Warm brass plus charcoal. Cool white accents can make the mauve look dusty. The pink side needs testing.
