What color is Dulux Cherry Plum?
Dulux Cherry Plum 15YY 33/043 is a light, muted pink with a softly dusty cast and a faint mauve-grey edge. Its low saturation keeps the color from reading overly sweet, making it a considered option for bedroom walls, a powder room, or a quiet living-area accent. In bright daylight, Cherry Plum appears cleaner and more powdery, while warmer evening lighting can draw out its rosy warmth. Pair it with chalky white trim, warm greige, pale oak, linen, and brushed brass for a layered, natural finish. It can also bring a gentle wash of color to cabinetry or built-in shelving when balanced with darker charcoal or deep brown details.
