• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Russell Green (Benjamin Moore CW-495, LRV 38.58, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Au Lait (Farrow & Ball No.CB9, LRV 80, 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 — Fading Twilight (Benjamin Moore 1258, LRV 14.34, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Soft Almond 6 (Dulux, LRV 80.7, warm brown undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — French Vanilla (Benjamin Moore 923, LRV 75.34, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
