Why this works
- LRV spread (10.71 → 82.81): 72.1-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (4 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Stone Green (Dulux Heritage, LRV 45.5, neutral green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Pink Essence (Benjamin Moore 881, LRV 82.81, 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 — Chocolate Truffle (Benjamin Moore 2096-20, LRV 10.71, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Aura (Benjamin Moore 169, LRV 77.46, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Rich Praline 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.7, warm brown undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
