What color is Dulux Purple Infusion 6?

Dulux Purple Infusion 6 is a muted mid-tone lavender with a soft grey cast that keeps the purple from feeling overly sweet. Its blue-violet lean gives it a gently cool appearance, especially in north-facing rooms or under crisp white lighting. In warmer afternoon light, the greyed quality becomes more noticeable and the color can read as a dusty lilac. Use it on bedroom or dressing-room walls for a calm wash of color, or on cabinetry where a restrained purple is wanted. Pair Purple Infusion 6 with chalky whites, pale greige, charcoal accents, brushed nickel, or light oak for a grounded finish.
