Basic Information

  • Bold Brights 2004 to 2010
  • Bold Brights 1997 to 2003

Lovely Lilac is a mid-tone, rich purple with a graceful, floral feel. It suggests romance, soft florals and weddings, 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.

Color Theory

Lovely Lilac is a soft blue-violet with a subtle blue-violet influence. It sits near the blue-violet area, giving it a cool presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 234° gives it its blue-violet character, its saturation of about 38% makes it feel soft rather than flat, and its value of about 72% gives it a medium-light, usable weight.
