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

What each colour does

Wall — Greenstone No.190 (Mylands No.190, LRV 41.6, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Sail White (Crown, LRV 83.3, 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 — Dark Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CSP-270, LRV 10.41, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Crème Caramel (Benjamin Moore 910, LRV 73.34, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Velvet Truffle 6 (Dulux, LRV 79.6, warm brown undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
