What color is Dulux Lavender Blossom 1?

Dulux Lavender Blossom 1 30RB 22/242 is a mid-depth, muted purple with a noticeable blue-violet cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet, giving walls a calm, slightly smoky lavender appearance. In brighter daylight, the violet note becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light can bring out its dusky greyed quality. It suits bedrooms, reading corners, and small sitting rooms where a darker pastel can add definition without feeling heavy. Pair Lavender Blossom 1 with soft off-whites, pale grey-blue fabrics, light oak, or brushed nickel for a restrained, contemporary finish.
