Tyrian Plum is a deep, captivating color, somewhere between red and purple, with an earthy warmth that gives it a sophisticated charm.

This intense aubergine shade has been used as an accent color in recent years, but today it deserves to be the star of the show. Rich and velvety, it warms north-facing rooms and creates an intimate, cozy atmosphere in bedrooms and dining rooms.

Tyrian Plum pairs well with a multitude of shades from the Chalk Paint palette. Paired with Country Gray and Old White, it adds a touch of neoclassical elegance. For a more dramatic effect, combine it with Honfleur and Burgundy, with some gold leaf details, on an Olive or Pale Mallow background. Its intensity creates a Victorian atmosphere with Knightsbridge Green or Amsterdam Green, while pairing it with Coolabah Green gives it a bold modern feel.

Its name is inspired by Tyrian purple, a rare pigment extracted from seashells in ancient times, reserved for emperors and elites for its unparalleled depth and intensity.
