Purple Whisper

4002-9C

Purple Whisper is a light lavender with a warm violet glow. Its lavender warmth keeps the color from turning icy. In bedrooms, baths, or dressing rooms, it gives more personality than a cool gray without feeling childish.

Its soft brightness makes full walls practical. For Purple Whisper, Ivory trim plus brushed nickel. If the room gets strong western sun, check the pink side on a large sample.
