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

What each colour does

Wall — Olive Laque (Craig & Rose, LRV 38.5, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Piano White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 84.7, 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 — Char Brown (Benjamin Moore 2137-20, LRV 9.31, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Nutmeg Cluster 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.3, warm brown undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Crème Caramel (Benjamin Moore 910, LRV 73.34, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
