Tyrian Plum is a is a wonderfully sophisticated earthy dark reddish-purple colour with real warmth and depth. It's warmth, ripeness and depth of pigment will flatter north-facing spaces and works especially well in intimate spaces like dining rooms and bedrooms.
The colour is named after Tyrian purple, a natural pigment extracted from sea snails in ancient times. The dye was also called royal purple or imperial purple and greatly prized in antiquity because it was so time-consuming and expensive to harvest.
Tyrian Plum pairs beautifully with many different colours in the Chalk Paint palette. With classic neutrals like County Grey and Old White it will evoke neo-classical elegance. Blend with Honfleur and Burgundy with gold leaf details and set against an Olive or Pale Mallow backdrop for a dramatic look. Create a dark Victorian feel with jewel tones like Amsterdam Green – or a contemporary look with Coolabah Green.
Tyrian Plum comes in a 1 litre tin and a 120 ml project pot - please select above - under 'Available Options' - which size you would like.
