What each colour does
Wall — Celery Salt (Benjamin Moore OC-136, LRV 74.93, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Silken Sunrise 6 (Dulux, LRV 79.6, warm pink 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 — Deep Taupe (Benjamin Moore 2111-10, LRV 7.86, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Chiswick White (Sanderson CN_SAP0029, LRV 88.1, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Wevet (Farrow & Ball No.273, LRV 83, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
