What each colour does
Wall — Faded Bloom (Dulux, LRV 48, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Sea Pink (Sanderson CN_SAP0124, LRV 76.8, warm pink 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 — French Press (Benjamin Moore AF-170, LRV 9.89, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Natural Beech (Benjamin Moore 253, LRV 75.14, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Tropical Sand (Benjamin Moore 2101-70, LRV 75.96, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
