Why this works
- LRV spread (7.56 → 81.6): 74.04-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (3 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Overcast (Benjamin Moore OC-43, LRV 68.93, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Feather Pillow (Dulux, LRV 80.8, 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 — Pine Cone Brown (Benjamin Moore 2113-20, LRV 7.56, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Caramel Sand 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.4, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Panel White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 81.6, neutral green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
