Why this works

• LRV spread (9.01 → 84.74): 75.73-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (5 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Wheatberry (Benjamin Moore 2099-70, LRV 74.72, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Himalayan Musk 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.7, warm pink 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 — Artichoke (Benjamin Moore 2141-10, LRV 9.01, warm yellow undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Flurry (Benjamin Moore CC-100, LRV 84.74, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Cocoa Blush 6 (Dulux, LRV 81, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
