What each colour does

Wall — Little Rascal (Earthborn, LRV 48.5, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Kimchee Fan (COAT, LRV 80.8, warm pink 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 — Bitter Chocolate 2 (Dulux, LRV 5.8, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Sea Pink (Sanderson CN_SAP0124, LRV 76.8, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
