Pelt

Pelt brings aubergine drama

Pelt is a deep aubergine that feels luxurious and slightly mysterious. It’s a fantastic alternative to navy or charcoal when you want moody colour on cabinetry, interior doors, or panelled living rooms.

Pair it with brass hardware, smoked glass, and heavy linens for a clubby look, or lighten the mood with pale plaster ceilings and textured neutrals. For tonal layering, introduce Brinjal or Preference Red in adjacent rooms.

Testing dupes & finishes

Rich colours highlight brush marks, so sand surfaces smooth, prime, and apply two thin coats of your dupe. The shade should keep its inky purple tone under different lighting conditions. Estate emulsion works for walls, while eggshell or satin is better for cabinetry and trims.

Keep sheen levels consistent when pairing with near-black trims such as Railings. Layer lighting to bring out the depth—picture lights, table lamps, and candles make the colour glow rather than absorb light.

Where Pelt excels

Use it on home bars, bedroom wardrobes, media walls, or bold front doors. Styled with vintage rugs, marble, and polished metals, Pelt feels rich and confident; combined with pale oak and linen, it reads surprisingly relaxed.
