What each colour does
Wall — Mortar Pink (Farrow & Ball No.G13, LRV 50, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Stone III (Paint & Paper Library PPL-15, LRV 71.2, 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 — Caponata (Benjamin Moore AF-650, LRV 6.36, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Ballerina Pink (Benjamin Moore 2082-70, LRV 77.64, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Wevet (Farrow & Ball No.273, LRV 83, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
