What each colour does
Wall — Dutch Gold 3 (Dulux, LRV 51.4, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Grecian White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 81.7, 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 — Ultra Violet (Benjamin Moore 1372, LRV 12.78, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Alpine White (Benjamin Moore OC-124, LRV 87.62, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — St Martins No.37 (Mylands No.37, LRV 75.3, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
