Purpling Dawn

1001-6B

Purpling Dawn is a pale gray lavender with a quiet violet undertone. It reads delicate. It belongs where a plain off white feels too bare, such as a bedroom, nursery, or bath.

The soft brightness helps it keep the room open. For Purpling Dawn, bleached wood plus brushed nickel. Warm bulbs make the lavender feel a little rosier. Test it near bedding.
