Why this works
- LRV spread (11.31 → 80.3): 68.99-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (5 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Elemental (Benjamin Moore AF-400, LRV 40.21, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Soft Moss 4 (Dulux, LRV 69.4, 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 — Kalamata (Benjamin Moore AF-630, LRV 11.31, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Plaster II (Paint & Paper Library, LRV 80.3, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Dutch Gold 5 (Dulux, LRV 72.2, warm orange undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
