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

What each colour does

Wall — Croquet (Benjamin Moore AF-455, LRV 45.02, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Pale Almond (Benjamin Moore OC-2, LRV 69.46, 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 — Fading Twilight (Benjamin Moore 1258, LRV 14.34, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Winter White (Sanderson CN_SAP0149, LRV 81.5, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Sultana Spice 6 (Dulux, LRV 80.6, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
