What each colour does
Wall — Cape May Cobblestone (Benjamin Moore 1474, LRV 40.14, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Soft Moss 4 (Dulux, LRV 69.4, 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 — Saddle Brown (Dulux, LRV 7.4, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Whitewater Bay (Benjamin Moore OC-70, LRV 84.65, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Sorilla (Sanderson CN_SAP0135, LRV 83.7, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
