Why this works

• LRV spread (7.41 → 80.06): 72.65-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (3 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Smoke (Tikkurila, LRV 51). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Snow on the Mountain (Benjamin Moore 1513, LRV 80.06, warm 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 — Mississippi Mud (Benjamin Moore 2114-20, LRV 7.41, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Almond White (Dulux 40YY 78/108, LRV 76.4, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Seapearl (Benjamin Moore 961, LRV 77.5, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
