Pale Plum
Stampin' Up!® Color

Basic Information

  • Soft Subtles 1997 to 2010

Pale Plum is a medium-light, soft deep purple with a moody, elegant feel. It suggests plums, wine and dark florals, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as blackberry, plum, eggplant or wine purple, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

Pale Plum is a soft magenta-pink with a subtle purple-pink influence. It sits near the magenta-violet area, giving it a balanced presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 324° gives it its purple-pink character, its saturation of about 35% makes it feel soft rather than flat, and its value of about 86% gives it a medium-light, usable weight.
