What each colour does
Wall — Soothing Green (Benjamin Moore 535, LRV 67.9, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Cornish Clay (Dulux Heritage, LRV 72.2, 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 — Mississippi Mud (Benjamin Moore 2114-20, LRV 7.41, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Cocoa Blush 6 (Dulux, LRV 81, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Middleton Pink (Farrow & Ball No.245, LRV 81, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
