A sophisticated grayish violet named Exclusive Plum is the Sherwin-Williams Color of the Year for 2014 which can be found under the catagory of Fundamentally Neutral. "This dusky, filtered violet is refined without being stuffy, elegant yet easy, and layered with romantic potential," says Jackie Jordan, the company's director of color marketing:sw plum3

The company says the 2014 color is versatile and can be used in a variety of spaces which you can see by the photos. It looks great in the bath, living room, dining room and I think my favorite, the bedroom.sw-img-coty-bathroom-hdr

That bathroom above is so pretty with the white tile and the plum, don’t you think? I would use a whiter grout though.I like this color combination below with pops of magenta and chartreuse for a more energetic space:sw-img-coty-livingroom-hdr

I think it looks beautiful in a bedroom:

I have always loved purple so I can see myself definitely using Exclusive Plum.Imagine how pretty a bureau or table or bookcase would be painted in this color. What do you think of the new Sherwin-Williams 2014 Color of the Year?
