Don't know about these colours
This is the downstairs sitting-room, the one that used to be dank and dismal and septic-yellow (which I'm sure somebody-else really liked once), and smelled like... well use your imagination/memory. The walls, ceiling and woodwork are all freshly-painted. The ceiling is deep brown, the walls a sort of peachiness, the wood is off-white. The floor is still gross and the radiator covers still to be painted and fitted back on (that is always a job-and-a-half).
The chandelier is emerging from its cocoon of polystyrene worms...
Anyway, it is only paint, and if it doesn't work it can easily change back to septic yellow. (Or maybe not!)
