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

What each colour does

Wall — Elephant Gray (Benjamin Moore 2109-50, LRV 41.5, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Hampshire Rocks (Benjamin Moore 1450, LRV 74.06, warm pink 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 — Tanner's Brown (Farrow & Ball No.255, LRV 7, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Vanilla Mist 3 (Dulux, LRV 80.3, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Quilted Calico 2 (Dulux, LRV 74.7, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
