Highland Heather is a medium-light, soft purple with a graceful, floral feel. It suggests heather flowers, lavender fields and soft florals, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as lavender, amethyst, lilac or violet, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.
