What each colour does

Wall — Greenhow Moss (Benjamin Moore CW-450, LRV 35.12, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — French Canvas (Benjamin Moore 1514, LRV 74.05, 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 — Bisque (Farrow & Ball No.9811, LRV 30, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Cotton Candy (Benjamin Moore 1268, LRV 77.04, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Salisbury Stones 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.3, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
