• LRV spread (12.78 → 86.52): 73.74-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (4 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 — Powder V (Paint & Paper Library, LRV 50.1, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Lightning White (Benjamin Moore 2019-70, LRV 86.52, 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 — Ultra Violet (Benjamin Moore 1372, LRV 12.78, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Me Time (COAT, LRV 83.7, warm green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Sweet Sundae 5 (Dulux, LRV 76.6, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
