Best Lilac: Benjamin Moore French Lilac 1403

The Spruce

Lilac is a fresh, unexpected color that lends a playful, fun vibe to any room. We love Benjamin Moore's French Lilac because it's a rich tone that doesn't feel too saccharine. While this shade is lovely in a nursery or kid's bedroom, it also looks mature and works well in a master bedroom as well.

Best Muted Purple: Clare Wink

The Spruce

Clare is a fairly new player to the paint scene and its shades cater to the discerning millennial who wants a paint color that's unique. Wink is a light, muted purple with hints of gray. It feels like a more adult periwinkle and works well with darker muted tones or bright whites.

Best Gray Purple: The Spruce Best Home Lilac Sand SPR-19

The Spruce

For those who are a bit skeptical of purple's ability to serve as a perfect paint color, The Spruce Best Home Lilac Sand is a great choice. With subtle purple undertones, this shade comes off more as a gray or a taupe depending on the lighting. But, you still get that hint of color in there.

Lite Lavender is similar to Wink in tone, but is blended with more purple pigment. It has light pink undertones and plays well with warm whites or moody tans. It's a lovely color for any size bedroom and feels soft against rich furnishings. This subtle purple can work in nurseries just as well as in adult bedrooms.

Best Medium Purple: Magnolia Webster Avenue

The Spruce

If you want to fully embrace the purple hue, consider a paint color as rich as Magnolia's Webster Avenue. This dusty, berry-inspired hue has red undertones and pairs well with rich wood furniture and either white or natural wood trim. We love it as an accent wall or throughout the room.

Valspar's Rare Wine is a blackened purple shade that's full of intrigue and mystery. It's a stunning choice for an accent wall behind your bed, creating an instant focal point in the bedroom and eliminating the need for a headboard or a lot of wall art.

Best Plum: Benjamin Moore Dark Purple 2073-10

A little fuller and richer than Rare Wine, Benjamin Moore's Dark Purple is a bold, warm plum. Pair this regal color with gold accents for a bedroom fit for a queen (or king). This deep color will make a smaller bedroom feel larger or create a cozier vibe in a large space.
