The Basics
What are people saying about this color?
Even though shades of purple may not be my first choice in wall paint, with the right undertones it can be a great choice for creating chic adult spaces. Look for colours with a hint of grey. They’ll be softer on the eyes and more compatible with other elements in your home.
Lavender Mist was just right. Enough blue to look great with blue and white Chinese porcelain, enough gray to be sophisticated, and bright enough to add the bright and airy look I so want after having red all these years.
