Summer Plum

2074-20

Summer Plum is a deep red-violet with pronounced saturation and minimal gray. Its low LRV of 9.6 makes it a strong visual anchor suitable for accent walls, dining rooms, or intimate bedrooms. The color absorbs light and intensifies in low-light conditions.

It reads warmer under incandescent lighting and cooler in daylight. It pairs well with Chantilly Lace and Classic Gray to offset its depth. Related hues like Raspberry Glaze and Grape Juice maintain tonal continuity, while darker woods reinforce contrast.
