What each colour does
Wall — Hidden Oaks (Benjamin Moore 1129, LRV 42.35, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Pharaohs Gold 5 (Dulux, LRV 79.9, 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 — Eggplant (Benjamin Moore 1379, LRV 10.83, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Wild Rice (Benjamin Moore 2097-70, LRV 75.47, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Sweet Sundae 5 (Dulux, LRV 76.6, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
