What each colour does
Wall — Hague Blue (Farrow & Ball No.30, LRV 11, cool blue undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Cromarty (Farrow & Ball No.285, LRV 60, cool 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 — Tanner's Brown (Farrow & Ball No.255, LRV 7, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Joa's White (Farrow & Ball No.226, LRV 74, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Joa's White (Farrow & Ball No.226, LRV 74, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
