What each colour does

Wall — Perennial Grey (Little Greene 245, LRV 38.9, warm brown undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Victorian Lace (Benjamin Moore 2100-70, LRV 74.93, warm pink 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 — Spicy Sandalwood 1 (Dulux, LRV 7.5, warm pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — French White (Benjamin Moore 1093, LRV 72.65, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
