What each colour does
Wall — Vert de Terre (Farrow & Ball No.234, LRV 48, neutral green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Paw Print (Earthborn, LRV 78.9, 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 — River Rock (Benjamin Moore 2139-10, LRV 6.6, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Ylang Ylang (Benjamin Moore AF-305, LRV 79.5, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Cat's Cradle (COAT, LRV 85.2, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
