What color is Dulux Purple Polka 1?

Dulux Purple Polka 1 10RB 10/219 is a deep, muted blue-violet with a noticeably greyed, low-sheen appearance. Its dark value gives walls definition without reading as a bright purple, while the blue influence keeps the color on the cooler side. In daylight, Purple Polka 1 can show its restrained violet character; under warm artificial light, it may appear softer and more charcoal-plum. It suits a study, dining room, or bedroom feature wall, and can also bring depth to painted cabinetry. Pair it with soft off-whites, weathered oak, brushed nickel, or pale grey-blue textiles to keep the surrounding scheme clear and grounded.
