What color is Dulux Heather Bloom 1?

Dulux Heather Bloom 1 90RB 12/225 is a deep, muted purple with a noticeable rosy-plum cast. Its medium-dark value gives walls definition without reading as near-black, while the softened saturation keeps the color grounded rather than overly bright. In daylight, Heather Bloom 1 can show more of its red-violet warmth; under lower, warmer lighting, it settles into a richer berry-brown purple. It suits a dining room, bedroom, or small sitting room, and is especially effective on a single wall, painted cabinetry, or interior doors. Pair it with warm off-whites, dusty pinks, charcoal, and natural oak, brass, or aged bronze for a considered contrast.
