• Warmth balance (4 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Northern Cliffs (Benjamin Moore 1536, LRV 45.53, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Potters Clay 4 (Dulux, LRV 81.9, warm brown 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 — Tucker Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CW-175, LRV 7.4, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Oatmeal (Benjamin Moore 268, LRV 74.22, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Deep in Thought (Benjamin Moore AF-30, LRV 80.45, warm green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
