What each colour does

Wall — St James No.40 (Mylands No.40, LRV 73.5, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Accent — Chocolate Sundae (Benjamin Moore 2113-10, LRV 6.92, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Fresh Coconut (Crown, LRV 83.7, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
