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

What each colour does

Wall — Cargo (COAT, LRV 51, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Sultana Spice 6 (Dulux, LRV 80.6, 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 — Green Grove (Benjamin Moore 2138-20, LRV 9.72, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Candle Cream (Dulux Heritage, LRV 77.7, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Lilac Spring 6 (Dulux, LRV 82.1, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
