- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Brandy Cream (Benjamin Moore 1030, LRV 66.28, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Peppermint (Benjamin Moore 1359, LRV 74.19, 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 — Coffeehouse Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CW-165, LRV 6.61, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Swan Feather (Crown, LRV 84.1, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Just, Barely (COAT, LRV 79.2, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
