Heather Plum

1396

Heather Plum is a soft lavender with plum undertones that leans toward the cooler end of the spectrum. With an LRV of 46.62, it provides moderate light reflection suitable for bedrooms and living spaces. The muted purple tones work well alongside Benjamin Moore Enchanted, Lavender Mist, and Swiss Coffee.

For added depth, consider pairing with Deep Mulberry or a neutral like Classic Gray. This shade functions effectively in both contemporary and traditional settings where a quiet, subdued purple is desired.
