What each colour does

Wall — Japanese Maze 3 (Dulux, LRV 54.6, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Celery Salt (Benjamin Moore OC-136, LRV 74.93, 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 — Dash of Pepper (Benjamin Moore 1554, LRV 15.29, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Florida Seashells (Benjamin Moore 128, LRV 76.05, 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.
