Valspar

Purple Suede

V075-5

Purple Suede is a dark gray plum with a soft brown undertone. It feels quiet and tactile. Put it in a den, bedroom, or on cabinet doors where a near neutral purple can make sense.

The color will not brighten a room, so plan good lamps. For Purple Suede, cream walls plus oak. Matte finishes make it extra subdued. A textured rug helps the walls feel softer.
