What each colour does
Wall — Cygnet Feather (Dulux, LRV 43.4, warm grey undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Java Cream 3 (Dulux, LRV 82.1, warm brown 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 — Arras (Little Greene, LRV 8.2, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Fresh Air (Benjamin Moore 211, LRV 81.26, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Maraschino Mocha 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.2, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
