• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Light Umber (Craig & Rose, LRV 38.6, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Deep in Thought (Benjamin Moore AF-30, LRV 80.45, warm 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 — Pub BH.08 (Mylands BH.08, LRV 7.2, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Swansdown (Dulux, LRV 75.7, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
