Why this works

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

What each colour does

Wall — La Paloma Gray (Benjamin Moore 1551, LRV 45.62, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Subtle Ivory 4 (Dulux, LRV 82, 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 — Pelt (Farrow & Ball No.254, LRV 7, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Adam Cream (Craig & Rose, LRV 76.5, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Tunsgate Green (Farrow & Ball No.250, LRV 78, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
