Simply Purple

4004-10B

Simply Purple is a muted periwinkle-purple with a blue backbone. It has real color. Because it sits in a darker value range, it works better as a feature on cabinetry, a headboard wall, or a creative office than as a casual whole-house shade.

Daylight shows the blue side first. Lamps bring out the violet. Use crisp trim and simple flooring so the color reads polished instead of juvenile.

Simply Purple 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.
