- Warmth balance (5 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Thunder (Benjamin Moore AF-685, LRV 47.58, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Birch White Light (Sanderson CN_SAP0012, LRV 80.9, 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 — Petticoat Lane (COAT, LRV 10.5, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Amelia Blush (Benjamin Moore 085, LRV 77.62, warm orange undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Royal Silk (Benjamin Moore 939, LRV 77.89, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
