lilkovité

Lilkovitý is a Czech color term describing a lilac-colored hue. It denotes a soft to medium purple with a hint of pink, reminiscent of lilac flowers. The word is formed from the noun lilka (lilac) with the suffix -ovitý, which conveys the sense of having that quality.

In usage, lilkovitý sits between lighter purples like fialový (purple) and brighter, deeper purples. It is commonly employed in design, fashion, and cosmetics to specify a pastel or delicate purple tone. The term can be found in product descriptions, color palettes, and literary descriptions where a gentle, romantic color atmosphere is desired.

Contextual considerations: lilkovitý can carry a poetic or feminine nuance in Czech, and speakers may choose more general terms such as lilkový or fialový depending on shade and register. In everyday language, lilkovitý helps distinguish a specific lilac-like tint from purer purples or pinks.

See also: lilac, fialový, lila, pastel colors. While color representation varies by medium and display, lilkovitý is broadly understood as a soft, pale to medium lilac purple suitable for palettes aiming for calm, graceful aesthetics.
