What color is Dulux Amethyst Showers 1?

Dulux Amethyst Showers 1 08RB 19/308 is a muted mid-depth blue-violet with a softly greyed cast rather than a bright purple finish. Its blue influence keeps the color on the cooler side, while the violet base adds enough warmth to prevent it feeling stark. In daylight, this shade can read as a dusty periwinkle-purple; under warmer artificial light, its violet notes are likely to appear more noticeable. Use it on a bedroom, study, or living-room wall where its medium depth can give the room definition without the heaviness of a very dark tone. Amethyst Showers 1 pairs well with chalky white trim, pale grey upholstery, light oak, brushed nickel, and deeper navy accents.
