What each colour does

Wall — Caramel Blush 3 (Dulux, LRV 53.9, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Crumpled Linen 4 (Dulux, LRV 81.5, 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 — Raphael (Benjamin Moore CC-2, LRV 6.66, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Ash White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 75.5, neutral grey undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Subtle Ivory 3 (Dulux, LRV 81.1, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
