The Delicate Lilac
Glide 42655 Lilac is positioned at the palest, most delicate end of the lavender-purple family — lighter than the standard Lavender (42577), with the specific barely-there quality of lilac blossoms in spring. On very pale lavender and soft lilac fabrics, Lilac integrates where the standard Lavender would read as noticeably more saturated than the background.
