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

What each colour does

Wall — Soaring Dove (Crown, LRV 75.3, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Accent — Hot Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CC-484, LRV 14.75, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Vanilla Wisp (Dulux, LRV 88.4, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Just, Barely (COAT, LRV 79.2, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
