- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 2 of 5 carry a neutral inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Norway Spruce (Benjamin Moore 452, LRV 39.16, cool blue 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 — Cragside JB.10 (Mylands JB.10, LRV 6.9, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Chiffon White 1 (Dulux, LRV 74.9, neutral grey undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Deserted Island (Benjamin Moore OC-99, LRV 75.86, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
