About heather
Heather sits between pink and violet, a soft mauve named after the windswept moorland flower. It reads quietly purple in daylight and shifts cooler under LED — softer than lavender, more grown-up than blush.
Use it on a single accent wall, a primary bedroom, or a small powder room where you want presence without volume. Pair with warm whites, brushed nickel, and pale oak. The high LRV keeps rooms airy. Designer alternatives: BM Wood Violet, SW Mauve Finery, F&B Peignoir.
