• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Marbled Sands (Dulux, LRV 51.4, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Potters Clay 4 (Dulux, LRV 81.9, warm brown 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 — Abbey Brown (Benjamin Moore 1225, LRV 12.3, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Taupe 02 (Lick, LRV 80.2, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Rosie Posie (Earthborn, LRV 75.4, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
