Lilac and green: how to pair them

Lilac and green work because they are almost complementary: purple and yellow-green sit opposite each other. They also bring to mind flowers like lavender with its leaves. In soft shades, the mix looks fresh and harmonious.

Tips for pairing them

Use soft shades like lilac and sage green for a natural look. At home, white walls with lilac fabrics and green plants or pillows are a great idea. In fashion, a lilac dress with a green bag, or a green top with a lilac skirt, are springtime combos. Add white or beige for balance.

Contrast between them: 1.1:1. Don’t put text in one color on the other: it’s hard to read.
