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

What each colour does

Wall — Axolotl (COAT, LRV 75.1, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Dusky White (Sanderson CN_SAP0043, LRV 79.1, 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 — Red lilac (RAL RAL 4001, LRV 14.4, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Subtle Ivory 2 (Dulux, LRV 81.6, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Paper III (Paint & Paper Library PPL-38, LRV 75.3, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
