    Sure! I think "shadow" would look great paired with lighter colors or as an accent wall.

    I think it's a great color, yet it would have to be used sparingly. If you painted your entire interior in Shadow, you're home would be too dark and gloomy.

    Might be perfect for our small, and only, bathroom.

    Funny enough most of the Paint companies have predicted a "purple-ish" color this year. I personally would do an accent wall with it because its dark more then half the year up here and dark paint is a design no-no ( for the most part)

    Agreed would only use it on an accent wall

    This is a great accent color that would be amazing on trim for doors!

    Great colour for both interior and exterior. A lot better than Pantone's colour of the year - Greenery.

    I like it but it wouldn't work in my home.

    Beautiful color, but I voted no because it's too dark. I prefer light and airy

    I dislike anything with a purple cast.

    I love plums, purples, lilac and lavender colours, but not with wood or on my walls. I'd prefer to have aqua & blues through my home.

    I love purples. My favorite color as a child. I would have no problem using this color. I have already gone darker in my bedroom with Valspar's Urban Pulse. I do have a 3-window bay so the small room gets plenty of light and can handle darker color (used to be a mid-tone green.) With my dark drapes it is a great "sleep-in" spot!

    Good as an accent wall I think, but I would not want to paint an entire room with this color, as it's too dark for me.

    I agree with most of the comments - it's a lovely color but no more than an accent wall - and with some creamy colored artwork on the wall.

    It's very dramatic, I've seen it in a restored colonial home. Done in the dining room. Looks lovely. But it take guts to do it.

    No, too dark - I like neutral like creams or calming colours such as a olive green.

    Too purple.
