What each colour does
Wall — Golden Umber 2 (Dulux, LRV 44.3, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Moorland Magic 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.6, neutral 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 — Espresso Bark (Benjamin Moore CSP-390, LRV 8.18, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Plaster II (Paint & Paper Library, LRV 80.3, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Glacier White (Benjamin Moore OC-37, LRV 80.18, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
