Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/lilac-orchid](https://plan-home.com/color/lilac-orchid)

Dulux Lilac Orchid 16RB 38/235 is a muted mid-tone lavender with a noticeable cool blue-violet cast. Its softened, slightly greyed appearance keeps it from reading sugary or overly floral, especially across larger wall areas. In bright daylight, Lilac Orchid can appear clearer and more lilac, while lower or warmer artificial light may bring out its dusty, subdued side. It suits bedrooms, reading corners, and alcoves where a calm wash of colour is wanted without making the room feel dark. Pair it with soft off-whites, pale greyed blues, natural oak, or brushed nickel for a clean, quietly layered scheme.
