What color is Dulux Sumptuous Plum 5?

Dulux Sumptuous Plum 5 is a mid-tone muted plum with a clear rosy cast, sitting between dusty pink and softened berry. Its #BB7191 color value gives it enough warmth for bedrooms, dressing areas, or a powder room without reading overly sweet. In bright daylight, the pink notes are likely to appear more noticeable, while lower or warmer lighting can bring forward its deeper mauve-plum character. Use it across full walls for a cocooning effect, or on cabinetry and a painted headboard for more contained color. Pair Sumptuous Plum 5 with chalky off-whites, warm grey-beiges, walnut, aged brass, or deep charcoal for contrast.
