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

What each colour does

Wall — Great Barrington Green (Benjamin Moore HC-122, LRV 21.39, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Pale Opal (Dulux, LRV 83.4, neutral green 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 — Passion Plum (Benjamin Moore 2073-30, LRV 11.83, 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 — Dimity (Farrow & Ball No.2008, LRV 76, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
