- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Vichyssoise (Benjamin Moore CC-246, LRV 67.04, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Middleton Pink (Farrow & Ball No.245, LRV 81, warm pink 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 — Ultra Violet (Benjamin Moore 1372, LRV 12.78, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Fennel White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 80.3, cool green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Clouded Pearl 4 (Dulux, LRV 81.4, cool grey undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
