What each colour does
Wall — Soft Truffle (Dulux, LRV 49.4, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Coastal Glow (Dulux, LRV 82.8, 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 — Tucker Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CW-175, LRV 7.4, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Beige White (Crown, LRV 77.9, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Cracked Clay 3 (Dulux, LRV 81.8, warm orange undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
