What each colour does

Wall — New London Burgundy (Benjamin Moore HC-61, LRV 9.82, warm red undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Vintage Taupe (Benjamin Moore 2110-70, LRV 82.41, warm pink 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 — Rich Havana 3 (Dulux, LRV 28.9, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Indian White (Benjamin Moore OC-88, LRV 75.44, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Crisp Apple (Dulux, LRV 82.1, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
