Purple Paint Colors
24 purple paint colors across 14 brands including Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Behr.
Purple occupies a unique space in home design — it can be soothing, dramatic, or playful depending on the shade. Light lavenders create dreamy, restful bedrooms. Deep plums and eggplant tones add theatrical richness to dining rooms and libraries. And the increasingly popular purple-grays serve as sophisticated alternatives to standard gray, adding depth without being obviously purple.
Benjamin Moore Shadow (a moody, near-black plum) makes a stunning accent wall. Sherwin-Williams Potentially Purple is a soft lavender-gray that reads as a refined neutral in most lighting. The biggest purple pitfall? Undertones. Many grays and off-whites carry hidden purple undertones that only reveal themselves on the wall — check our undertones guide to learn how to spot them before you buy. Purple complements cool grays and dusty pinks beautifully.

Purple Done Right
Light purples work best in bedrooms and nurseries where their calming quality shines. Deep plums are perfect for dining rooms that feel intimate. If you're nervous about committing to purple, start with a purple-gray — it adds complexity without risk. Use the palette generator to find complementary colors for your purple.
