What each colour does
Wall — Fossil (Paint & Paper Library Arch. VII, LRV 40.1). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Apple White (Dulux, LRV 86.6, 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 — Peerage (Benjamin Moore CC-36, LRV 7.04, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Portland Stone - Pale (Little Greene LG 77, LRV 78.7, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Earthen Cream 2 (Dulux, LRV 75.1, warm orange undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
