What each colour does
Wall — Outer Banks (Benjamin Moore 1206, LRV 50.79, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Tunsgate Green (Farrow & Ball No.250, LRV 78, 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 — Mahogany (Farrow & Ball No.36, LRV 7, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Blush Noisette 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.5, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Diffused Lace (Dulux, LRV 78.7, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
