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

What each colour does

Wall — Caramel Sand 5 (Dulux, LRV 63.5, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Cotton Belt (Crown, LRV 85.7, 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 — Artichoke (Benjamin Moore 2141-10, LRV 9.01, warm yellow undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Alabaster (Benjamin Moore 876, LRV 85.08, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
