- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Sage Green II (Paint & Paper Library PPL-100, LRV 48.7). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — 100% Maybe (COAT, LRV 80.1, 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 — Plymouth Brown (Benjamin Moore HC-73, LRV 13.98, warm yellow undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Peach Cider (Benjamin Moore 135, LRV 72.13, warm orange undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Sumatran Melody 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.4, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
