Where violet is fully saturated, this is purple pulled most of the way to gray, and that changes how it behaves in the hair. On a lifted panel it reads silver in flat light and lilac wherever light lands directly. Worn down, only the very ends tend to give it away. This is toner-strength color rather than dye, so it needs a genuinely clean base or it turns to dirty mauve within days.

Undertonecool. Gray mutes the purple here, so it stays quiet against fair cool skin where a bright lilac would look loud and obvious.
Starting pointRequires the same level ten lift a true silver does, since any yellow left behind in the panel turns the lilac muddy on application.
UpkeepRe-tone roughly every three weeks; with so little pigment to hide behind, this shade shows regrowth and returning brass sooner than the deeper purples.
