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

What each colour does

Wall — Beauvais No.195 (Mylands No.195, LRV 52.2, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Pampas (COAT, LRV 78.8, 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 — Exotic Spice 2 (Dulux, LRV 8.3, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Hazelnut Cream (Benjamin Moore 2161-60, LRV 75.46, warm orange undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Lancaster White (Benjamin Moore OC-144, LRV 73.21, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
