What each colour does

Wall — Dill Weed (Benjamin Moore 481, LRV 41.49, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Me Time (COAT, LRV 83.7, warm 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 — Cherry Chocolate (Dulux, LRV 6.1, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — New Chapter (Crown, LRV 74.9, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Caramel Blush 6 (Dulux, LRV 73.2, warm orange undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
