# Behr Peru

Source: [https://plan-home.com/color/behr-peru](https://plan-home.com/color/behr-peru)

Behr Peru PPU1-18 is a muted plum with a noticeable dusty rose cast, sitting between purple and berry rather than reading as a true violet. Its mid-dark depth gives walls presence without the heaviness of a near-black aubergine. In bright daylight, Peru can show more of its softened mauve side, while lower evening light draws out its deeper wine-purple character. It suits a dining room, bedroom, powder room, or a focused accent wall where a richer color is welcome. Pair it with warm off-white trim, natural oak, aged brass, and soft gray-beige textiles for contrast that keeps the color grounded.
