• Warmth balance (4 warm · 1 cool): Built around warm tones with cool anchors.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Trench Coat (Benjamin Moore CSP-1020, LRV 35.57, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Mango Melody 6 (Dulux, LRV 78.3, warm orange 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 — Huguenot No.49 (Mylands No.49, LRV 7.3, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Calming Aloe (Benjamin Moore 533, LRV 78.88, warm green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Whiting (Edward Bulmer, LRV 78.4, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
