Valspar

Plum Legacy

1002-7B

Valspar Plum Legacy sits in the mauve brown family, more smoke than grape. This shade softens bedrooms without drifting into lavender, especially with taupe bedding or antique brass lamps. Brown steadies the plum.

Because it sits in the deep range, use lighter textiles and a clear trim line to keep the walls from closing in. Check it next to beige carpet, which may pull the mauve forward.
