What each colour does
Wall — Green 14 (Lick, LRV 41.9, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Lemon Ice (Benjamin Moore OC-114, LRV 88.37, 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 — Preference Red (Farrow & Ball No.297, LRV 8, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Wiltshire White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 81.5, neutral grey undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Soft Montelimar 6 (Dulux, LRV 79.4, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
