What each colour does
Wall — Pale Almond (Benjamin Moore OC-2, LRV 69.46, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Brilliant White (Dulux, LRV 84, cool none 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 — Plum Raisin (Benjamin Moore 2082-20, LRV 9.91, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Java Cream 4 (Dulux, LRV 82.6, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Pale Hound (Farrow & Ball No.71, LRV 72, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
