Why this works

• LRV spread (12.9 → 85.4): 72.5-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (3 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 — Chalky White 1 (Dulux, LRV 72.5, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Taupe 02 (Lick, LRV 80.2, 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 — Damson Dream 4 (Dulux, LRV 12.9, warm pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Old Straw Hat (Benjamin Moore 337, LRV 85.4, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Golden Jasmine 3 (Dulux, LRV 82.5, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
