What color is Dulux Sumptuous Plum 3?
Dulux Sumptuous Plum 3 is a deep berry-plum with a pronounced red-violet cast, represented by the rich #983660 hue. It has enough saturation to make an impact, while its darkened value keeps it grounded rather than overly bright. In daylight, the raspberry-red side of the color is more noticeable; in lower light, it settles into a denser, more shadowy plum. Use it for a dining-room feature wall, a cocooning bedroom, or painted cabinetry where a strong color can be appreciated up close. Soft warm whites, dusty pinks, charcoal, walnut, brass, and pale natural stone give Sumptuous Plum 3 a considered, layered setting.
