Why this works

• LRV spread (6.5 → 86.3): 79.8-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 — Finnie Gray (Benjamin Moore CW-55, LRV 41.96, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Natural Wicker (Benjamin Moore 950, LRV 73.5, 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 — Velvet Cake (Dulux, LRV 6.5, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Jesse (Edward Bulmer, LRV 81.2, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Pointing (Farrow & Ball No.2003, LRV 86.3, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
