About plum
Plum is the moody anchor of the purple family — a deep purple-red with the saturation of the ripe fruit. It reads rich in daylight and turns almost black-cherry under warm bulbs.
Use it on dining-room walls, libraries, primary bedrooms, or a lacquered front door for old-world drama. Pair with cream trim, brass, and walnut floors. Its low LRV makes rooms feel enveloping — best with generous natural light or warm lamps. Designer alternatives: BM Shadow, SW Fine Wine, F&B Pelt.
