• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Gallery Buff (Benjamin Moore CSP-225, LRV 46.22, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Celery Salt (Benjamin Moore OC-136, LRV 74.93, 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 — Lazy Afternoon (Benjamin Moore 1378, LRV 18.42, cool pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Pearl Glow (Dulux, LRV 86.6, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Kiwi Burst 6 (Dulux, LRV 80, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
