Made for

• Room: Living Room
• Period: Georgian · Victorian · Edwardian
• Lighting: Diffuse daylight
• Mood: Considered, layered
• Temperature: Warm-leaning

Why this works

• LRV spread (9.3 → 80.5): 71.2-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): 4 of 5 carry a neutral inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Fossil Trace (Dulux, LRV 45.5, neutral grey undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Cornish Clay (Dulux Heritage, LRV 72.2, 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 — Night Jewels 2 (Dulux, LRV 9.3, neutral neutral undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Indian White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 80.5, warm neutral undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Beautiful in My Eyes (Benjamin Moore 1170, LRV 75.76, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
