- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Yard Party (COAT, LRV 53.1, cool green 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 — Rectory Red (Farrow & Ball No.217, LRV 12, warm pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Chiffon White 1 (Dulux, LRV 74.9, neutral grey undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Cotton Candy (Benjamin Moore 1268, LRV 77.04, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
