Inspired by the legendary Tyrian purple of the ancient world, Tyrian Plum is a rich, luxurious plum with warm brown undertones that brings elegance, depth and timeless sophistication to any furniture painting project. Deep and dramatic without feeling overpowering, this beautifully balanced shade creates a refined finish that's equally suited to classic interiors and contemporary homes.
Tyrian Plum is perfect for transforming sideboards, dressers, cabinets, wardrobes, dining furniture and decorative accessories into striking statement pieces. Its sumptuous plum tones pair beautifully with natural wood, brass, marble and soft neutral colours, creating interiors that feel rich, inviting and full of character. Whether you're restoring a treasured antique or introducing a bold feature piece into your home, Tyrian Plum delivers a finish that's elegant, distinctive and effortlessly stylish.
