- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Elephant's Breath (Farrow & Ball No.229, LRV 48.7, warm violet undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Foggy Morning (Benjamin Moore 2106-70, LRV 76.09, 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 — Night Owl (Benjamin Moore CC-662, LRV 10.07, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Slate II (Paint & Paper Library PPL-3, LRV 82.6, warm green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Clock Face (Dulux, LRV 82.1, warm brown undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
