Can this Coker be paired in the bathroom with light gray, and the royal purple color chart? Like lilac or any purple family? Please and thank you

  Hello Jacquelyn, thank you for visiting our blog!
  do you plan on using light gray and royal purple decor?
  It pairs better with gray tones. Or you can add subtle pops of lilac which would work.
  
  Hope this helps!
  
  Colorfully Yours,
