What color is Dulux Purple Infusion 3?

Dulux Purple Infusion 3 30RB 11/250 is a muted, mid-dark purple with a noticeable blue cast and a softly greyed finish. Its restrained saturation keeps it from reading overly bright, giving walls a calm, grounded presence rather than a theatrical one. In bright daylight, the blue-violet character is likely to feel clearer, while lower or warmer lighting can draw out its deeper plum side. Use Purple Infusion 3 in a bedroom, study, or dining room, or reserve it for cabinetry and a painted feature wall when a full room feels too dark. Pale grey, dusty pink, chalky white, dark walnut, and brushed brass provide considered companions for this shade.
