#c3b9dd - Melrose color

This pale lavender-gray blends cool violet with soft gray, producing a misty, powdery pastel that feels gentle and refined. It evokes early-morning haze, wisteria blossoms, and vintage linens—quietly romantic and soothing rather than vibrant. Ideal for calming interiors, delicate stationery, cosmetics, and wellness branding, it pairs beautifully with silver, muted mauve, pale sage, or deep plum for contrast. In finish, satin or matte enhances its understated elegance, while a touch of gloss can add a modern, ethereal sheen.
