- 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 — Knitted Cape (Benjamin Moore CSP-965, LRV 77.17, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Sea Pink (Sanderson CN_SAP0124, LRV 76.8, 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 — Arras (Little Greene, LRV 8.2, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Mountain Peak White (Benjamin Moore OC-121, LRV 88.64, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Savory Cream (Benjamin Moore 2105-70, LRV 76.13, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
