- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Kangaroo (Benjamin Moore AF-145, LRV 43.94, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Cotton Candy (Benjamin Moore 1268, LRV 77.04, 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 — Barn Red (Benjamin Moore ES-22, LRV 7.9, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Cucumber (Benjamin Moore 428, LRV 75.19, warm green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Navajo White (Benjamin Moore 947, LRV 78.26, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
