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

What each colour does

Wall — Driftscape Tan (Benjamin Moore 2106-50, LRV 43.2, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Whitehall No.9 (Mylands No.9, LRV 80.2, 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 — Rich Clay Brown (Benjamin Moore 2164-30, LRV 15.93, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Wishbone White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 79.9, neutral neutral undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Stone White (Edward Bulmer, LRV 74.7, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
