What color is Dulux Lilac Spring 4?

Dulux Lilac Spring 4 42RB 63/137 is a light, muted lavender with a soft greyed cast that keeps it from looking overly sweet.

It suits bedrooms, dressing areas, and quiet sitting rooms, particularly on full walls where its low saturation feels easy to live with. Pair this shade with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, and deeper plum or charcoal accents for definition.
