What each colour does

Wall — Marbled Sands (Dulux, LRV 51.4, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Niveous (Benjamin Moore OC-36, LRV 75.2, 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 — Liquorice (Farrow & Ball No.CB10, LRV 7, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Floris No.27 (Mylands No.27, LRV 73.5, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Beachcrest Sand (Benjamin Moore 114, LRV 73.83, warm orange undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
