What each colour does
Wall — Evening Gown (Benjamin Moore CSP-375, LRV 40.91, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Lime White (Benjamin Moore CW-95, LRV 75.37, 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 — Cocoa Blush 2 (Dulux, LRV 5.3, warm pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Wispy Pink (Benjamin Moore 2005-70, LRV 78.39, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Celery Salt (Benjamin Moore OC-136, LRV 74.93, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
