Deepfake is a captivating, dark violet that blends mystery with a touch of allure, making it perfect for creating dramatic and intriguing spaces in your home. With its rich, enigmatic undertones, this colour adds depth and sophistication, evoking a sense of luxury and charm. Whether you're aiming for a bold statement in your living room, bedroom or even health-focused areas, Deepfake offers a versatile option that can set the tone for relaxation or introspection. 

Here are two ideas for this colour trend using Resene Wallpaper Collection 386542 and Resene Noir to give you a head start on using this hue: 

Resene Wallpaper Collection 386542 has a deep purple background with an accent pattern to help it pop.It’sa great choice for kitchens, bathrooms or bedrooms where you want to add some drama. Pair this design with muted tones like Resene Half Gin Fizz and Resene Lola, and pops of colour in accessories with Resene Japonica and Resene Polo Blue. 

In this space, the right wall in Resene Noir generates moodiness against the dusty mauve of Resene Memory Lane on the left.
