What each colour does

Wall — Botanical Green (Sanderson CN_SAP0014, LRV 30.6, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Downtime (COAT, LRV 86, 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 — Saddle Brown (Dulux, LRV 7.4, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Burnt Autumn 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.5, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Morning Dew Light (Sanderson CN_SAP0094, LRV 74.8, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
