What each colour does

Wall — Tate Olive (Benjamin Moore HC-112, LRV 21.63, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Mindful (COAT, LRV 81.3, 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 — Townsend Harbor Brown (Benjamin Moore HC-64, LRV 8.22, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — French Macaroon (Benjamin Moore CSP-335, LRV 73.91, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Moorland Magic 5 (Dulux, LRV 74.4, neutral green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
