• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Brave Ground (Dulux, LRV 38.2, warm brown undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Peroxide (Little Greene LG 170, LRV 78.7). 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 — Café Doppio (Benjamin Moore CSP-210, LRV 8.33, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Green Clay (Dulux Heritage, LRV 76.2, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Goldtone (Benjamin Moore 176, LRV 77.47, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
