What color is Dulux Sumptuous Plum 2?

Dulux Sumptuous Plum 2 is a deep plum with a clear wine-red cast, giving it a richly pigmented, slightly berry-toned appearance. Its depth makes it especially effective on a single feature wall, built-in cabinetry, or a dining room where darker color can feel intentional rather than heavy. In bright daylight, the red and purple notes are more noticeable; under warm evening lighting, it can read darker and more dramatic. Pair Sumptuous Plum 2 with soft warm whites, dusty blush, muted clay, or pale greige to keep the contrast gentle. Brass hardware, walnut furniture, black accents, and natural linen all suit this shade well.
