What each colour does
Wall — Pistachio Ice Cream (Benjamin Moore CSP-815, LRV 66.09, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Sweatpants (COAT, LRV 76.5, 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 — New Thicket (Edward Bulmer, LRV 8.6, warm yellow undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Sorilla (Sanderson CN_SAP0135, LRV 83.7, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Kimchee Fan (COAT, LRV 80.8, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
