What counts as lilac here
Measured range in CIE LCh: lightness 58–82, chroma 18–45, hue 285°–325°.How we measure colour.
Lilac is a light violet with a clear but gentle colour: lighter than violet, more colourful than lavender, and cooler than pink. On this page that means a measured lightness of 58–82, chroma of 18–45 and a hue angle between 285° and 325°.
Lilac or lavender? Lavender is greyer and slightly bluer. If a jacket looks almost silver in daylight, it’s lavender, and you’ll find it on the lavender page.
Watch the fabric. A shiny nylon puffer reads a shade lighter in the photo highlights than in real life, and a matte one reads truer. If the colour matters, compare the shop’s close-up photo with the swatch on the card.
What it goes with. Lilac sits well with grey marl, cream, denim and charcoal. For contrast, try olive or rust. With black it looks sharper and colder; with camel it looks softer.
