What each colour does
Wall — Salisbury Stones 1 (Dulux, LRV 21.8, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Holland Park No.5 (Mylands No.5, LRV 81.8, 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 — New Pilgrim Red (Benjamin Moore ES-21, LRV 7.1, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Sea Pink (Sanderson CN_SAP0124, LRV 76.8, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
