What each colour does

Wall — Eggplant (Benjamin Moore 1379, LRV 10.83, warm red undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Grecian White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 81.7, 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 — French Press (Benjamin Moore AF-170, LRV 9.89, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — French Grey - Pale (Little Greene, LRV 79.3, warm green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Point Pleasant (Benjamin Moore 155, LRV 78.17, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
