• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Sesame (Benjamin Moore 381, LRV 63.05, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Fennel White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 80.3, cool 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 — Pure Cocoa (Dulux, LRV 7.9, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Safe Play (COAT, LRV 81.8, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Ivory Lustre (Benjamin Moore 184, LRV 76.71, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
