What color is Dulux Sumptuous Plum 1?

Dulux Sumptuous Plum 1 is a deep, muted plum with a noticeable berry-red cast beneath its violet base. Its low lightness gives it a grounded, enveloping presence, while the softened saturation keeps it from reading as overly bright or purple. In daylight, this shade can show more of its red-plum character; under warm evening lighting, it appears darker and more wine-toned. Use Sumptuous Plum 1 on a dining-room wall, a snug, or painted cabinetry where its depth can be appreciated up close. Pair it with warm off-whites, pale blushes, natural oak, aged brass, or charcoal for contrast without losing its rich character.
