• Warmth balance (4 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Light Fern (Crown, LRV 43.2, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Wheatberry (Benjamin Moore 2099-70, LRV 74.72, 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 — Pamplona Purple 1 (Dulux, LRV 6.3, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — A la Mode (Benjamin Moore 2109-70, LRV 75.45, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
