A match of Valspar 1011-7 Perfect Plum is a very deep plum with a restrained, red-leaning undertone. It reads closer to a muted burgundy-plum than a bright purple, with enough chroma to stay distinct but not enough to look vivid. At an LRV of 2.8, it can appear nearly black in lower light and reveal its color character more clearly under direct light.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small parts that need a dark colored finish rather than standard black. Common spray applications include metal brackets, switch plates, vent covers, speaker grilles, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, trim pieces, frames, shelving, and painted accessories. On these items, the color can provide a deep plum tone that still reads as a dark architectural finish.

Because this is a dark color, surface preparation and finish choice matter. Smooth substrates and clean edges will show the color clearly, while texture, sanding marks, and uneven sheen can be more noticeable in a dark coating. A gloss or satin finish may make the red-plum undertone read a little deeper or more reflective, and outdoor exposure can change the appearance more noticeably over time than it would on a quieter neutral.

Can I return or refund a custom match of Valspar 1011-7 Perfect Plum if I order the wrong sheen or quantity?

If you are ordering a custom match of Valspar 1011-7 Perfect Plum, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before checkout.

How do I confirm the right Valspar 1011-7 Perfect Plum color reference before ordering?
