- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Ranchwood (Benjamin Moore CC-500, LRV 36.66, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — French Grey - Pale (Little Greene, LRV 79.3, warm green 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 — Lazy Afternoon (Benjamin Moore 1378, LRV 18.42, cool pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Icing Sugar (Dulux, LRV 88.6, neutral grey undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Acorn (Little Greene, LRV 74.8, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
