Dark plum color

A deep, slightly muted violet that combines concentrated intensity and cultivated heaviness.

Prune 456 has a dark undertone with dense saturation and a moderately warm temperature. Its luminosity is low, giving the color a compact appearance. From a perceptual psychology perspective, it creates depth, gravity, and a quiet yet present intensity. Its atmosphere suggests maturity, structure, and an elegant, understated drama.

Culturally, Prune 456 draws on historical dyes derived from berry pigments and purple traditions, which combined symbolism and value. In fashion, the hue is particularly effective in velour, heavy wools, and textured couture fabrics, as it accentuates their depth. This color unfolds its presence on limited surfaces, in niches, and on objects, grounding light and neutral tones. On glossy materials, the shade creates a subtle reflection. In color combinations, it harmonizes with warm neutrals, muted rose shades, and deep blues. It creates a calm, focused atmosphere and emphasizes elements through its weight. Prune 456 is especially suitable when depth and structural clarity are desired.
