Why this works
- LRV spread (5 → 76): 71-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (3 warm · 2 cool): Built around warm tones with cool anchors.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Mizzle (Dulux, LRV 42, sage grey undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Tallow (Earthborn, LRV 76, warm cream 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 5, cool blue undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Tallow (Earthborn, LRV 76, warm cream 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.
