Why this works
- LRV spread (6.07 → 86.1): 80.03-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (4 warm · 1 cool): Built around warm tones with cool anchors.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Green Frappé (Benjamin Moore 484, LRV 75.49, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Swansdown (Dulux, LRV 75.7, 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 — Night Shade (Benjamin Moore 2116-10, LRV 6.07, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Canvas White (Crown, LRV 86.1, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Cocoa Blush 6 (Dulux, LRV 81, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
