What color is Dulux Damson Dream 2?

Dulux Damson Dream 2 85RB 09/313 is a deep plum-purple with a noticeable red-violet cast. Its low-value depth gives it a shadowy, enveloping appearance, while the color remains clearly saturated rather than reading as a neutral charcoal. In bright daylight, its berry-toned purple character is more apparent; under warm evening lighting, it can look darker and more wine-like. Use Damson Dream 2 on a dining-room wall, a snug study, or painted cabinetry where a strong, concentrated color feels appropriate. Pair it with chalky off-whites, soft greyed pinks, dark wood, brass, or matte black details for contrast.
