Why this works

• LRV spread (6.73 → 82.05): 75.32-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (4 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Flax (Benjamin Moore 2098-50, LRV 41.54, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Frosty Pink (Benjamin Moore 2010-70, LRV 82.05, 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 — Grape Juice (Benjamin Moore 2074-10, LRV 6.73, cool red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Tailors Chalk (Dulux, LRV 75.3, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Japanese Maze 6 (Dulux, LRV 81, neutral green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
