What each colour does

Wall — Marigold Cheer (Dulux, LRV 59.5, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — White 01 (Lick, LRV 88.4, 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 — Rich Clay Brown (Benjamin Moore 2164-30, LRV 15.93, warm orange 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 — Melted Ice Cream (Benjamin Moore 2095-70, LRV 76.38, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
