A Plum Job

V039-4

A Plum Job is a dusty mauve plum with a brown-pink base. The color is softer than drama. It can bring quiet personality to a powder room, guest bedroom, or painted vanity.

Warm light pulls it toward rose. Cooler daylight reveals more violet. Use ivory trim with dark wood or aged brass. Avoid blue-gray flooring if the room already feels cold, because that can make the plum look tired.

A Plum Job in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
