What each colour does
Wall — Parchment (Craig & Rose, LRV 76, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Whitening (Little Greene, LRV 88.4, 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 — Tuscany Green (Benjamin Moore 2140-20, LRV 9.57, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Ferdinand (Little Greene, LRV 89.2, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Cocoa Blush 6 (Dulux, LRV 81, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
