- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Baja Dunes (Benjamin Moore 997, LRV 41.31, warm brown undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Willow III (Paint & Paper Library, LRV 76.8, 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 — French Press (Benjamin Moore AF-170, LRV 9.89, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Candle White (Benjamin Moore 2164-70, LRV 79.14, warm orange undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Crème Caramel (Benjamin Moore 910, LRV 73.34, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
