Why this works

• Warmth balance (4 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Pan (COAT, LRV 20.4, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Feather Pillow (Dulux, LRV 80.8, neutral grey 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 — Preference Red (Farrow & Ball No.297, LRV 6.4, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Organic Cloth (Crown, LRV 76, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Manilla Beige (Sanderson CN_SAP0082, LRV 76.4, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
