- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Winterwood (Benjamin Moore 1486, LRV 50.95, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Antique Cream (Crown, LRV 75.7, 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 — Deep Aubergine (Dulux, LRV 3.8, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Ballerina Pink (Benjamin Moore 2082-70, LRV 77.64, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Bridal Rose (Benjamin Moore 1247, LRV 74.8, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
