Why this works
- LRV spread (10.96 → 81.5): 70.54-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): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Faded Petal (Dulux, LRV 64.2, neutral pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Feather Pillow (Dulux, LRV 80.8, neutral grey 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 — Key Pearl (Benjamin Moore 885, LRV 78.31, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Crumpled Linen 4 (Dulux, LRV 81.5, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
