White Lilac's color is soft: a muted violet cast over gray and white rather than a strong purple. The slab is composed by hand from rounded, cross-cut slices, most with a frosty crystalline body. Scattered pieces have dark indigo bands around pale blue centers, and some show fine, branching lines of blue-white crystal, accents that stop the surface from settling into a single flat tone.

Medium to large slices, loosely packed, give an open pattern that suits wide wall panels, vanity tops and bedroom walls in calm, neutral schemes. Backlighting shifts the tone noticeably, from cool lilac to warm ivory and caramel, a change worth weighing when an illuminated feature sits beside white or gray finishes. Panel sizes follow the design, the largest at 320 x 190 cm, and although 2 cm is standard the slab can come thinner or thicker, from 0.6 to 4 cm. Routine cleaning needs warm water, a mild neutral detergent and a dry cloth.
