So Long Shadow

1004-3B

So Long Shadow is a muted mauve-purple with a rosy brown base. It is sophisticated for purple. Try it in a powder room, dressing area, or on an accent cabinet with grounded materials around it.

In daylight, the pink-violet side appears clearer. At night, it settles into a deeper rose-taupe. Use cream trim, dark wood, or aged brass. Bright white may make the undertone feel too sweet.
