Why this works

• LRV spread (10.96 → 89.4): 78.44-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (5 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 — Shabby Chic (Benjamin Moore 1018, LRV 49.49, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Soft Linen (Crown, LRV 89.4, 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 — Iron Mountain (Benjamin Moore 2134-30, LRV 10.96, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Barely Beige (Sanderson CN_SAP0006, LRV 77.6, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Chemise (Little Greene, LRV 82.8, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
