What each colour does
Wall — Café Mocha (Benjamin Moore 2099-50, LRV 41.95, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Pharaohs Gold 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.8, 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 — Tudor Brown (Benjamin Moore PM-24, LRV 6.43, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Winter White (Sanderson CN_SAP0149, LRV 81.5, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Wheatberry (Benjamin Moore 2099-70, LRV 74.72, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
