What each colour does

Wall — Chateau Grey (Sanderson CN_SAP0028, LRV 48.2, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Down (Little Greene, LRV 80, 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 — Spinning Wheel (Dulux, LRV 6.9, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Oyster White Light (Sanderson CN_SAP0110, LRV 72.2, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Seapearl (Benjamin Moore 961, LRV 77.5, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
