Proper Purple (1111630): Where and How to Use It

Proper Purple (1111630) is a deep violet shade by Dulux - a deep tone that's best saved for a feature wall rather than the whole room. The cool undertone means it settles best next to cool whites and greys.

Best Spaces for Proper Purple

  • Feature and accent walls: one wall in a bold shade gives a room a strong focal point.
  • Bedrooms and quiet corners: violet suits restful, slightly indulgent spaces.
  • Powder rooms and cloakrooms: compact, occasional-use rooms are the safest place to go dark.
  • Home theatres and TV rooms: deep colours cut screen glare and make the space feel immersive.

What Goes With Proper Purple

For a whole-home look, use Proper Purple as a feature against paler walls and bring in:

  • Soft grey and white - to keep it calm and elegant.
  • Silver or chrome - for a cool, refined accent.
  • Blush or mauve - for a gentle, tonal pairing.

Threading one pairing from space to space keeps everything looking deliberate.

Light and the Right Finish

In different light: Proper Purple shows its depth in good light but can flatten in a dim room, so keep it where light is strong.

Best finish: A flat matt finish shows it at its richest and suits feature walls; use a washable soft-sheen in kitchens and bathrooms.

Worth Knowing

Check a tester patch morning and evening, as violet shifts with the light in a room. Deep colours read best with two coats over a tinted basecoat.
