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

What each colour does

Wall — Pink Drab (Farrow & Ball No.207, LRV 49, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Cat's Cradle (COAT, LRV 85.2, 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 — FTT-009 - Bright Red (Mylands FTT-009, LRV 18.9, warm pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Pale Hound (Farrow & Ball No.71, LRV 72, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Subtle Ivory 4 (Dulux, LRV 82, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
