What each colour does

Wall — Rose Gold (Crown, LRV 41.7, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Amazon Jungle 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.1, neutral green 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 — Topeka Taupe (Benjamin Moore 1463, LRV 11.01, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Cotton Belt (Crown, LRV 85.7, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Alabaster (Benjamin Moore 876, LRV 85.08, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
