With gentle pinkish undertones, Gentle Violet is a crisp very light, nearly pure off-white. With an LRV of 87, it reflects light beautifully, working as a versatile ceiling color, trim, or all-over wall color. Vista Paint offers He Loves Me as a near-identical match, while Sherwin-Williams's Lite Lavender is also very similar. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
