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

What each colour does

Wall — Venetian Portico (Benjamin Moore AF-185, LRV 41.94, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Au Lait (Farrow & Ball No.CB9, LRV 80, 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 — Coffeehouse Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CW-165, LRV 6.61, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Soaring Dove (Crown, LRV 75.3, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Palace White (Benjamin Moore 956, LRV 73.17, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
