Meet RbDWithout it, you'll forget half the list.
- You paint every wall white and the room feels cold and clinical, not Scandi
- You add one warm accent and it clashes because you guessed the undertone
- Your Pinterest board has 40 'Scandinavian' rooms and the colors are all different
- You buy a gray sofa and a beige rug that fight because their undertones are different temperatures
What's Inside
- ✓ 6 colors with hex codes, RGB values, and Benjamin Moore paint matches
- ✓ 60/30/10 application ratio so you know how much of each color to use
- ✓ Room-by-room guide: which color goes on walls, textiles, furniture, accents
- ✓ 3 common mistakes that make 'Scandi' rooms look cold instead of warm
How It Works
Save the hex codes to your phone for online shopping
Take the paint matches to Benjamin Moore or use the hex codes for digital comparisons
Apply the 60/30/10 rule: 60% dominant, 30% secondary, 10% accent

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really free?
Yes. PDF arrives by email in under five minutes. No credit card.
Do I have to use Benjamin Moore paint?
No. The hex codes work for any paint brand. We include Benjamin Moore matches because they are the easiest to cross-reference, but Sherwin-Williams and Behr equivalents are within 1-2 shades.
Can I use this for other Scandi-adjacent styles like Japandi?
Japandi shares 4 of the 6 colors but swaps the accent tones. If you like this card, the Japandi Lookbook ($12) has the full adapted palette.
