Forever Lilac

Forever Lilac begins as a purple color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its cool classification gives it a crisper edge that may become clearer beside warm timber, cream or brass. The manufacturer's description below offers one reading; the room imagery leaves space for your own.
