Simply Lavender

4001-9B

Simply Lavender is a pale lavender with a cool pink-gray base. The pale LRV keeps the lavender useful beyond a small accent. The color suits bedrooms, closets, or vanity areas where softness matters more than drama.

On large walls, the gray keeps it from becoming candy purple. Warm bulbs pull it slightly rosier. Clean white trim will show the lavender clearly. Pair with pale wood or cream bedding, and avoid strong yellows unless the contrast is intentional.

Simply Lavender in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
