What color is Dulux Purple Infusion 2?

Dulux Purple Infusion 2 23RB 11/349 is a mid-depth violet with a noticeably muted, blue-leaning cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading overly sweet or bright, giving walls a calm, grounded dose of color. In daylight, Purple Infusion 2 can show more of its dusky purple character, while warmer evening lighting may bring out its slightly plum-like side. It suits a bedroom, study, or dining room feature wall, and is equally effective on painted cabinetry when paired with pale oak, brushed brass, and soft off-white. For a quieter scheme, combine this shade with cool greys and chalky whites; for more contrast, use deep charcoal or inky navy accents.
