• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Misted Fern (Benjamin Moore CC-668, LRV 30.63, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Delicate Veil (Dulux, LRV 79.5, neutral grey 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 — Copper Glow (Dulux, LRV 30.1, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Dusky White (Sanderson CN_SAP0043, LRV 79.1, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
