What each colour does

Wall — Eye of the Tiger (Benjamin Moore 188, LRV 46.9, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Spring in Aspen (Benjamin Moore 954, LRV 70.95, warm yellow undertone). Use on the wall in a hallway or adjacent room for a continuous scheme, or as a second wall colour in the same room.

Accent — Barn Red (Benjamin Moore ES-22, LRV 7.9, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Blush Rambler 6 (Dulux, LRV 80.6, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Silky Smooth (Benjamin Moore 1373, LRV 76.66, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
