Colors That Match With Lilac

Fresh and Vibrant

• Lilac is a color that works well in fresh, garden-like themes – after all, the color is inspired by a garden flower. If you are aiming for a fresh room that has a garden-like appearance, consider base colors such as ivory or bright white. Accent the lilac with vibrant colors such as apricot orange, light blue, light pink, bright green and golden yellow.

Cool and Sophisticated

• Lilac doesn’t have to be used exclusively with bright and vibrant colors. It can also be paired up with a more cool collection of colors or a sophisticated palette. Use a smooth base color such as ivory to start. Pair lilac with more sophisticated colors such as deep lavender, dark brown, mauve, olive or a tea rose pink.

Bold and Funky

• Although lilac may have a light tone, it can be paired with bold colors to create a color statement. Consider using bright white, lilac and sky blue for a bold color pairing in a wedding. Bright colors such as fuchsia, tropical green, neon orange and dark purple also pair up with lilac for a more bold color palette.

For Children

• Lilac is a popular color in children’s rooms, especially for girls. For a nursery, consider using bright white mixed with lilac, pale yellow and light pink. Older children might want something a little flashier, so consider hot pink, lilac, bright yellow and tangerine for a touch of spunk.
