What each colour does

Wall — Treacle Tart 3 (Dulux, LRV 46.9, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Calm (Benjamin Moore OC-22, LRV 75.83, 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.

Accent — Night Owl (Benjamin Moore CC-662, LRV 10.07, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Cucumber (Benjamin Moore 428, LRV 75.19, warm green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
