What each colour does

Wall — Cotswold (Benjamin Moore AF-150, LRV 39.04, warm brown undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Victorian Lace (Benjamin Moore 2100-70, LRV 74.93, 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 — Cordovan Brown (Benjamin Moore ES-62, LRV 6, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Peach Melba (Benjamin Moore 078, LRV 77.17, warm orange undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Olivetint (Benjamin Moore 519, LRV 78.72, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
