Crimson Red
From jewel-bright reds to deep, dark purples, the plum palette is rich, gorgeous, and eye-catching, adding a sense of luxury to all interiors from the classic to the ultramodern.
If you yearn to use strong colors but are wary of the primary reds, the luscious plum palette will certainly find a place in your home. The plums are a complex family of muted reds, ranging from deep maroons which verge on brown, through crimson, dark fuchsia, and purplish reds to the redder shades of violet.
The names given to this glorious range of colors are a clue to their seductive appeal. If you want to conjure them up in your mind’s eye, think of the scintillating crimson of claret or burgundy seen against the light, or imagine the dark, purplish bloom of grapes, bilberries, and damsons, and the dark crimson red of plums. The splendor of these gorgeous colors is also seen in semi-precious gemstones such as purple amethysts, and the reds of rubies and garnets. The plummy reds and purples are strong, rich and intense, but unlike the hotter, orange-reds such as scarlet, they are never flagrant or shrill. They bring warmth and richness into the home, but with great finesse and elegance. Where the primary reds must be controlled and balanced, these reds take their place in such an unassuming way that even the most faint-hearted colorist soon feels quite comfortable with them.
The plums are regal colors, traditionally associated with display and magnificence. They cry out for luxurious materials – brocades, velvets, and silks – glossy textures, gleaming antique woods, and gilded details. They are theatrical but tasteful, gorgeous but never vulgar, and incredibly easy to live with. Use them in bold, flat passages in a modern interior, or choose dusty colors and distressed paintwork for an aged look which is timeless.
In the Purple
The purplish plums combine easily with a wide range of colors. They work particularly well with any shade of yellow from bright lemon to earthy yellow ochers and antique golds. A particularly striking pairing combines damson with lime green. For more harmonious schemes, combine the purply shades with related colors such as blues and reds.
Used boldly and as solid areas of color, damson is grand without being overwhelming. It is ideal for rooms used for entertaining, a formal living room or drawing room, for example, or a dining room. If you shop around you may find good-quality, secondhand velvet curtains at a fraction of the cost of new ones. Hang them on gleaming brass rods with an elaborate finial, and tie them back with gold cord and big gold tassels, or use a fixed brass hook.
Use brocades and velvets for upholstery, trimming it with gold braid, fringes, and brass pins. The floor covering should be patterned – a rug or a wall-to-wall carpet with a small motif. Good color combinations are gold or yellow with touches of blue-green and gray.
In a darker or small room, use slightly lighter versions of these colors and choose patterned fabrics with a pale background. Try a traditional eighteenth-century French scenic wallpaper, a Victorian sprig design, or an elegant Regency stripe. A gilded over-the-mantel mirror, a brass fender and fireplace set, and brass or carved and gilded wood wall sconces will introduce a metallic gleam and suggest the right degree of opulence. Existing wall lights can be gilded with metallic gold paint.
If you prefer a relaxed and less formal look, use aging and distressing techniques combined with secondhand furniture and textiles to create the lived-in splendor of an old country house.
A striking bathroom can be constructed around a checkerboard of tiles in shiny, fruit-bright colors. Combine purple reds with hot reds, mauves, cool cobalt blues, dark green, bright yellow, and sky blue to produce a feast of color. A white washbasin, a plain unframed mirror, and a chrome towel rack will provide a utilitarian contrast.
Fruity and sensuous, damson is a lovely choice for bedroom schemes. It is pretty in an elegant way and makes a pleasant change from pastels. Provide relief with crisp white or cream, and introduce colors such as green, pink, and yellow in patterned textiles and wall coverings. Don’t be afraid to combine patterns – stripes, florals, and checks can work very well together as long as there are two or three colors that provide a linking theme. A few items in the accent damson will hold the scheme together.

Crimson $6.99 On the run from their enemies, hunted by the law they once dedicated their lives to, werewolves Morgan Hunter and Gina “Red” Santiago have no choice — they must enter the outlaw territories in order to disappear completely from society. With only themselves to trust, they must somehow navigate this “No Man’s Land” full of outlawed Others and dangerous nomadic tribes. Losing themselves in this arid wasteland would be easy, but Morgan and Red know that the only way they can regain their life together is by turning the tables on the man who is hunting them — destroying his plans to rule the united territories once and for all. |
