Why this works
- LRV spread (7 → 84): 77-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (2 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 (Farrow & Ball No.203, LRV 84, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Stone - Mid (Little Greene LG 112, LRV 60, 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 — Railings (Farrow & Ball No.31, LRV 7, cool blue undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Skimming Stone (Farrow & Ball No.241, LRV 67, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Skimming Stone (Farrow & Ball No.241, LRV 67, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
