What each colour does
Wall — Khaki Mists 5 (Dulux, LRV 68.4, neutral green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Vanilla Milkshake (Benjamin Moore 2141-70, LRV 80.97, warm 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.
