Lilac

#b984af

A muted, medium pinkish purple, Lilac is softer and grayer than the blossom itself, like the flower a few days after cutting. Blue gives it a clean, cool partner, Warm Gray quiets it into an understated, grown-up palette, and Rainette Green sets up a soft green-purple complement. Its contrast against white is about 3.0:1, suitable only for large display type, while on black it reaches around 7:1. It suits bedroom textiles, watercolor illustration and gentle backgrounds for printed invitations and greeting cards.
