What each colour does

Wall — Heather Solstice (Dulux, LRV 39.6, warm grey undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — 100% Maybe (COAT, LRV 80.1, 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 — Chestnut Brown (Crown, LRV 6.8, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Mindful (COAT, LRV 81.3, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Norfolk Cream (Benjamin Moore 261, LRV 73.08, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
