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

Behr Vixen PPU17-03 is a deep, muted plum with softened violet and reddish-brown undertones. Its low-light value gives it a grounded presence, while the grayed quality keeps the purple from reading overly bright or sweet. In daylight, Vixen can show more of its dusty berry character; under warm evening lamps, it may appear richer and closer to an aubergine-brown. It makes a strong choice for a dining room, powder room, or study wall, and can also bring depth to painted cabinetry. Pair this shade with creamy off-whites, weathered oak, black metal, or warm brass for contrast that feels considered rather than stark.
