What color is Dulux Plum Compote?

Dulux Plum Compote 30RB 07/107 is a deep, muted purple with a noticeable charcoal cast, sitting close to a smoky aubergine in appearance. Its low lightness gives walls a cocooning, near-black depth, while the subtle blue-violet influence keeps it from reading as a warm brown. In daylight, this color can show more of its dusty plum character; under warm artificial light, it is likely to appear darker and more subdued. Use it for a dramatic dining room, a study, or cabinetry where the dark tone can be offset by pale stone, soft grey, or warm off-white. Brushed brass, dark stained timber, and matte black details provide particularly grounded companions.
