What color is Dulux Lilac Heather 4?

Dulux Lilac Heather 4 90BB 68/089 is a pale, muted lavender with a noticeable cool blue-grey cast. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the softened colour prevents it from reading as overly sweet or distinctly purple. In daylight, this shade can look like a lightly misted blue-lilac; under warmer lamps, its lavender side becomes more apparent. It suits bedrooms, quiet home offices, and bathrooms, especially when paired with soft white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or grey-veined stone. For contrast, use deeper slate blue, charcoal, or a restrained dusky plum in textiles and smaller accents.
