What each colour does

Wall — Grey Squirrel (Sanderson CN_SAP0067, LRV 42.7, warm brown undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Lime White (Farrow & Ball No.1, LRV 72, 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 — Pelt (Farrow & Ball No.254, LRV 7, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Harvest Fruits 5 (Dulux, LRV 76.2, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Winter White (Sanderson CN_SAP0149, LRV 81.5, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
