Valspar

Plum Burst

4002-10B

Valspar Plum Burst is a medium deep violet with a gray blue base. It is more sophisticated than a bright purple. Use this in a bedroom, reading nook, or on furniture where the color can feel intentional.

The color is deep. Pair with ivory trim, dark wood, or brass, and keep competing colors quiet. Door casing should give clear contrast. Reading lamps will warm the violet.
