Why this works

• LRV spread (6.9 → 87.4): 80.5-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.

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

What each colour does

Wall — Yorkshire Tan (Benjamin Moore HC-23, LRV 43.93, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Modest (COAT, LRV 82.1, 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 — Spinning Wheel (Dulux, LRV 6.9, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Orchid White (Dulux, LRV 87.4, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Natural Taupe 4 (Dulux, LRV 82, warm brown undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
