Bon Vivant

8002-48G

Bon Vivant is a deep eggplant purple with a smoky black base. It is dramatic immediately. Use it where the richness is intentional, such as a bar cabinet, library wall, or powder room.

LRV 6 means it needs shine, contrast, or strong lighting to avoid looking flat. Pair it with brass and warm stone. A larger sample will show whether the purple stays visible.
