What each colour does

Wall — Caramel Sand 2 (Dulux, LRV 39.9, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Pantry White (Craig & Rose, LRV 76.1, 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 — New Sekhmet (Edward Bulmer, LRV 6, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Royal Silk (Benjamin Moore 939, LRV 77.89, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Niveous (Benjamin Moore OC-36, LRV 75.2, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
