• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Monticello Rose (Benjamin Moore HC-63, LRV 46.07, warm orange undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Axolotl (COAT, LRV 75.1, 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 — Black Berry (Benjamin Moore 2119-20, LRV 6.16, cool violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Parchment (Craig & Rose, LRV 76, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Fennel White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 80.3, cool green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
