What each colour does

Wall — Kalamata (Benjamin Moore AF-630, LRV 11.31, warm violet undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Calm (Benjamin Moore OC-22, LRV 75.83, 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 — Fading Twilight (Benjamin Moore 1258, LRV 14.34, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Hampshire Rocks (Benjamin Moore 1450, LRV 74.06, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
