It's probably a little darker than in the photo. More brozne-champagne gold.

Thank you. I'm leaning towards dark. I've read that dark colors make a room look smaller but I've seen that debunked too. What do you think?

Schnookable: Like Purple said... If you tell us a little more, such as where in Canada you live, we would have a little more to go on. BC alone goes from zone 7a to 0b, which is quite a jump, hardiness-wise. -Also if it's a place that NEVER gets sun, or if you get a bit in the evening or mornings, would be a help, if we are to conjure up any suggestions ;-) Many hostas are cold-hardy to zone 3, and get purple, pink or white flowers. -IF in zone 3, you would have to take good care when overwintering (up against a wall, covered with loads of snow). -Some varieties have bluish leaves as well. Campanula poscharskyana (Serbian bellflower, trailing bellflower) has puple, almost blue, flowers. It will grow well in a place that gets at least SOME light (morning or evening). If you live near the coast, I think it might overwinter outside, but will otherwise do fine inside in the window. -Prefers to grow in gravel, or at least a VERY well-draining soil.

Deep purple leaves/growths?
Q

Good questions, Terp. Didn't expect any responses as there are so many variables. In Florida I use rain water most often. I have rain barrels all over, hooked to every down spout. I collect as much as I can to get me through the dry months. They do get hosed occasionally and the tap water here is very alkaline. I use RO when I run out of rain water or am too lazy to go out and fill a watering can. I am not good with fertilizing as I'm lazy. If a plant is really dry, it gets a sip of water. I probably fertilize every few weeks. Nothing mixed, just the fertilizers I mentioned. The purple leaves/growths are extreme. Never saw it to this extent. Almost black but really a deep, dark purple. New growths are affected. Dens and Catts. Underside of large Catt leaves are deep purple. I ask the question because some of these plants I've had for years. These are not new growths on newly acquired plants although I'm seeing it on those also. The growths from last year are green. I'm seeing it this season. I suspect nutritional or water pH because that would be the only change in a year. I've used the same fertilizers for years and always used RO in the past. So far all the plants appear healthy and good root growth, just these weird purple leaves. Thinking it might be light levels, I've moved them around but that didn't change anything. I haven't tested the tap water because I rarely use it. Just a spray from the hose once in a while. I'm more curious than concerned. I'll try to get a few shots tomorrow. Found a pic of one. Back side of leaves Here you can see the top side is greenish. Jane

Thanks Renee, and Bob. I can get 'Storm Cloud' at Briggs Tree Farm. I'll have to check around for 'Graskop'. Thanks for the thumb's up on both. 'Storm Cloud' will be perennial I think, or maybe partially so. And Renee, it's actually not a bad idea where this is going for the leaves to die back. I can get in and do a snail/slug cleanup. I'm really having the March of the Snails this year, sigh.... I should own stock in Montery with as much Sluggo as I have had to lay down. It's so bad this year, I'm having to resort to Deadline around certain high-attraction plants. Patty S.

Thanks Casey, that is what I suspected. I'll just use it as a base coat and cover it with a couple thin coats of a redder red, thanks for confirming my suspicions.

I think dark colors can go either way. They can make the walls recede. I think not being cluttered is the best way to make a space look bigger. just my opinion! you might wait to hear from some of the real color experts on here.

id keep the ceiling lighter, possibly also the floor

Since I do not see the whole room I have no idea . Why purple at all ? IMO without context there is no right answer. Post a pic of the space and also how any purple relates to the space since IMO if this is a master bath it needs to relate to the bedroom.

Why question the OP's color choice at all? Why purple at all??? Well why beige at all? Why white at all? Why green at all? Why not? She just asked about dark or light purple, not if it will go with her (unknown) bedroom colors or if this is even a master bath.

OP, my opinion is like everyone else's...dark. That is a STUN-NING vanity! I hope I get to see it installed with your purple walls!

It will be dramatic. You'll need a good lighting plan to take full advantage. Do you already know what you're planning for lighting?

Thank you all. Why purple? It is my favorite color. My Master bed and bath will be the dark purple. The guest room, laundry room and hall are lighter purple. The kitchen and family room are in white. My office is Peony and my dining room is royal blue with blue in the tray ceiling. The tray ceiling in the living room has pone royal blue stripe and one dark purple stripe.

To answer the question about the lighting. It's a four light flush mount and a LED mirror.
