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

What each colour does

Wall — Heart Wood (Dulux, LRV 41.5, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Slate II (Paint & Paper Library PPL-3, LRV 82.6, warm green 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 — Coffeehouse Chocolate (Benjamin Moore CW-165, LRV 6.61, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Heather Bloom 6 (Dulux, LRV 72.5, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Macadamia Nut (Benjamin Moore 191, LRV 73.92, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
