Why this works

• LRV spread (10.61 → 80.7): 70.09-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• 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 — Purple Sage 2 (Dulux, LRV 18.7, neutral violet undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Clay Powder (Sanderson CN_SAP0030, LRV 80.7, 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 — Riding Boots (Benjamin Moore CSP-300, LRV 10.61, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Chatsworth Cream (Benjamin Moore 225, LRV 76.35, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Plaster II (Paint & Paper Library, LRV 80.3, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
