What each colour does
Wall — Heather Bloom 2 (Dulux, LRV 22.1, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Lightning White (Benjamin Moore 2019-70, LRV 86.52, 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 — Georgian Brick (Benjamin Moore HC-50, LRV 15.46, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Piano White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 84.7, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Corinthian White (Benjamin Moore 162, LRV 79.45, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
