pastel purple

Muted lilac shade

A soft, muted shade of purple with reduced saturation, giving it a pale, gentle appearance.

Pastel purple sits between lavender and lilac, evoking springtime, femininity, or whimsy: The nursery walls were painted pastel purple.

Like other pastels, it suggests lightness and delicacy rather than intensity.
