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

What each colour does

Wall — Drawing Board (Crown, LRV 37.8, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Thai Magic 6 (Dulux, LRV 81, warm pink 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 — Tawny Owl (Dulux, LRV 10.3, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Rock Candy (Benjamin Moore 937, LRV 75.33, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Neutral Light (Sanderson CN_SAP0099, LRV 76.7, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
