thistle 2

#EED2EE

X11 color

Thistle 2 (#EED2EE) is a very light, soft pink-lilac from the X11 Thistle series, one step deeper than the near-white lightest variant with a gentle, floral delicacy. It evokes pressed lavender blossoms, faded Victorian wallpaper, and the softest watercolour purple washes. Used in botanical illustration, wedding design, and any context requiring a tender, feminine pale purple, it provides beauty without saturation.
