What each colour does
Wall — August Morning (Benjamin Moore 2156-40, LRV 49.65, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Early Sunset (Benjamin Moore 2096-70, LRV 77.02, warm pink 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 — River Rock (Benjamin Moore 2139-10, LRV 6.6, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Comiston (Craig & Rose, LRV 80.3, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Blush Rambler 6 (Dulux, LRV 80.6, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
