- Depth and Drama: Embrace the moody luxury and sophistication trend of 2026 with plum’s rich hues, ranging from dusty mauve to deep aubergine. These shades add depth and drama to any event.

The Differences Between Burgundy and Plum:
While both are deep and rich colors, there are subtle differences between burgundy and plum.
- Undertones: The primary distinguishing feature. Burgundy has a warm undertone due to its brown/red base, while plum has a cool undertone due to its purple/blue base.
- Vibrancy: Plum is often seen as more vibrant and fresh because of its noticeable purple hue, while burgundy exudes a classic and traditional feel with its slightly muted dark red.
- Base Color: Burgundy is essentially a dark red mixed with purple and brown, taking its name from the color of red Burgundy wine. Plum, on the other hand, is a deep purple with hints of gray and brown, named after the dark skin of the plum fruit.
Understanding these nuances helps couples choose a palette that truly reflects their style.
