Made for

Why this works
- LRV spread (7 → 76): 69-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (4 warm · 1 cool): Built around warm tones with cool anchors.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Tallow (Earthborn, LRV 76, warm cream undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Card Room Green (Farrow & Ball No.79, LRV 18, cool green 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 — Tanner's Brown (Farrow & Ball No.255, LRV 7, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Joa's White (Farrow & Ball No.226, LRV 74, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Tallow (Earthborn, LRV 76, warm cream undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
