What each colour does
Wall — Mushroom Grey (Sanderson CN_SAP0096, LRV 48.5, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Toasted Meringue (Dulux, LRV 67.7, 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 — Otter Brown (Benjamin Moore 2137-10, LRV 7.68, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Great White (Farrow & Ball No.2006, LRV 74, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Geddy White (Benjamin Moore CW-20, LRV 74.99, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
