What color is Dulux Plush Velvet 6?

Dulux Plush Velvet 6 is a muted blue-violet with a softly greyed cast, sitting in the mid-light range rather than reading as a bright pastel. Its cool undertone is most noticeable in clean daylight, where the lavender-blue character becomes clearer. In warmer artificial light, this color can look gentler and slightly more silvery, making it well suited to bedrooms, reading corners, or a calm home office. Pair Plush Velvet 6 with chalky white trim, pale oak, brushed nickel, or charcoal accents for definition. It also makes a considered choice for cabinetry or a single painted wall when a neutral needs more color presence.
