What each colour does
Wall — Pompeian Grey - Mid (Little Greene LG 280, LRV 39.5, warm red undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Lilac Spring 6 (Dulux, LRV 82.1, 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 — Jester (Benjamin Moore CC-34, LRV 6.87, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Old Fashioned Peach (Benjamin Moore OC-79, LRV 75.98, warm orange undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Chiffon White 1 (Dulux, LRV 74.9, neutral grey undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
