Blueberry paint

My bedroom is very neutral with plum accents. I quite like the plum but fancy a more dramatic colour on the walls. I've recently painted the living room a matt teal and love it Smile

Pinterest has come up with a sort of frosted blueberry that works well with plum. Does anyone have this colour? I want to steer away from anything too grey/lilac/pastel - it needs to be a reasonably mid/deep colour with good blue/lilac tones not just lilac/grey.

I'd like to compare the colour on other peoples' walls/on Pinterest before I go down the paint mixing route Grin Actually I've just remembered the paint apps for Dulux and Crown, I should give them a try.

Other descriptions are thundercloud/stormy sky if that helps!

My room is fairly spacious with good light despite being NW facing. I'd like the colour to go all the way round with a white ceiling/woodwork and white/oak furniture (floor tbc, currently neutral carpet but looking at limed or oak engineered).

I clicked the link expecting to hate it but it works. I'm not sure if it would go with plum but I like it.

Thanks! The plum (quite a dark plum) could be changed tbh, it's mostly my bedding. The colour combination chip I'm working from includes vivid green (i.e.plants) and the 4-5 colours look great together, particularly with white!

I can't seem to link it from Pinterest and I'm on my way out but I'll try again later.

Denim Drift ? Cant remember if it's Dulux or Crown

Oh thanks slinky! I'd heard of Denim Drift but had forgotten all about it Blush

It's definitely a contender. I'd quite like a touch more purple in it but it's a great starting point. I can get a tester/use the Dulux room app/explore similar colours now!

dulux do one called amethyst starling but not sure if its as deep as what you want?

slinkysaluki · 21/06/2018 20:33

Yes Amethyst Starling is a lovely colour

I'm thinking of using Denim Drift in my hall on one wall I really like it
