What each colour does
Wall — Blanched Almond (Benjamin Moore 1060, LRV 51.34, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Light Beauvais (Little Greene, LRV 76.4, 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 — Huguenot No.49 (Mylands No.49, LRV 7.3, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Indian White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 80.5, warm neutral undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Vanilla Milkshake (Benjamin Moore 2141-70, LRV 80.97, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
