Named after the vegetable characterized by deep purple skin, the color eggplant also answers to the name of aubergine, the French word for eggplant. Adding a touch of rich dark purple colors, like eggplant, can really add drama and style to any room's decor
The color eggplant refers to a deep, dark purple that is somewhat complex as it contains brown and black warm tones, the energy of red, and the coolness of blue.
Always rich and welcoming, eggplant is perfect for home offices, reception, living and dining rooms.
This color is a classy, yet understated way to put a touch of color into a room, while still maintaining a composed, dignified tone.
I hope these images will help you become more comfortable with this beautiful color and maybe you'll give it a try!!
Being a girl who likes antiquity in my interiors, I love the way aubergine/eggplant can make a room look aged.
It is not difficult to work this color into a very masculine room design. Aubergine/eggplant loves cozying up to dark brown and when used with natural textures such as wood and leather, it creates a very masculine and sophisticated look.
These walls reflect the more red side of aubergine/eggplant. This color looks wonderful with warmer browns and golds.

Gold and purple are colors associated with royalty and combine well. However a room can come off as being pompous, so texture and layers can soften and keep things from getting out of hand. Don't be afraid to use aubergine/eggplant in you interiors, just do your homework!!!

Most people are afraid of aubergine because it is dark. But it's really incredibly easy to use because it has blue, red, green, and even yellow embedded in it, and you can pull any of them out.

Since aubergine/eggplant has blue in it's makeup, blue is a great complementary color.
