Purple Colour Shades

From deep regal tones to light lilac hues, there are many different shades of purple, and each one will bring a different mood to whichever room it's used in. Layer different shades of purple or team them with other colours that pair beautifully with the purple colour palette, like shades of pink, blue, and even orange and yellow!

Dark Purples

Dark purple paint will bring an air of nobility to your home, as it's this end of the spectrum that's most often associated with royalty. Think of the Crown Jewels and the rich purple velvet fabric that forms part of the crown. Deep purple paint, like aubergine paint and plum colour paint, evokes a sense of drama, while shades with a grey or brown undertone feel calm and contemporary.

Light Purples

Light purple paint is soothing and gentle, reminiscent of awe-inspiring spring meadows. Choose a pretty floral hue like lilac, lavender or violet paint, or opt for a very pale purple paint for an option that behaves almost as a neutral, allowing accents and accessories to pop.
