Purple Grapes

PPG1175-6

Purple Grapes is a medium smoky violet with a blue-gray base. It feels moody but not heavy. Use Purple Grapes for a bedroom accent, office wall, or painted furniture when a standard gray needs more color.

On larger walls, Purple Grapes reads violet first in daylight and grayer after sunset. Pair Purple Grapes with pale oak or warm white millwork. Strong yellow accents can make the purple feel sharper, so keep nearby colors quieter.
