Valspar

Plummy Rouge

8003-2G

Valspar Plummy Rouge is an inky brown plum with a red violet undertone. It is best for a jewel box powder room, a door, or built in shelving. The shade needs polish.

With LRV 6, walls will feel intimate and light absorbing. Use cream trim, reflective hardware, and enough lighting to show the color. Test it against sink skirt. Compare the vanity top.

Plummy Rouge 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.
