Shy Violet

Shy Violet begins as a pink color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. An LRV of 60 places it through the middle of the scale, where color and depth can remain visible as the light changes. The manufacturer's description below offers one reading; the room imagery leaves space for your own.
