What each colour does

Wall — Hollywood Gold (Benjamin Moore 279, LRV 40.45, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Snow on the Mountain (Benjamin Moore 1513, LRV 80.06, warm green 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 — Char Brown (Benjamin Moore 2137-20, LRV 9.31, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Chalk Blush 4 (Dulux, LRV 80.8, neutral grey undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Candle Cream (Dulux Heritage, LRV 77.7, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
