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

What each colour does

Wall — Cappuccino (Benjamin Moore 2096-50, LRV 44.81, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Flurry (Benjamin Moore CC-100, LRV 84.74, 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 — Desert Shadows (Benjamin Moore 2114-30, LRV 11.9, warm pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Isabelline (Craig & Rose, LRV 79.1, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Vanilla Milkshake (Benjamin Moore 2141-70, LRV 80.97, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
