The Analysis

My Place Or Yours? is a deep, muted aubergine that absorbs a significant amount of light due to its low LRV of 7.6. Because of this, it will make a room feel smaller and more enclosed, turning a standard space into a highly focused, intimate environment.

This colour is best used as a bold statement. It works perfectly as a moody feature wall, on built-in cabinetry, or for painting an entire room to create a dramatic, immersive library or den feel.

How to Use It

Pair this with warm metallic accents like brushed brass or gold to lift the darkness, or stick to matte black hardware for a sleek, monochromatic edge. Use it in rooms where you want to lean into the drama, like a home office, a primary bedroom, or a cozy media room.

The Mood

Living with this shade feels incredibly grounded and restful, as deep purples act as a sophisticated alternative to black. It creates a cocoon-like effect that helps the room feel quiet and shielded from the outside world.

Colour harmonies

Complementary

Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.

Analogous

Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.

Split complementary

Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.

Triadic

Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.

Tetradic (square)

Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.

Monochromatic

Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
