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

What each colour does

Wall — Spring in Aspen (Benjamin Moore 954, LRV 70.95, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Mango Melody 6 (Dulux, LRV 78.3, warm orange 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 — Himalayan Musk 2 (Dulux, LRV 21.3, warm pink undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Java Cream 3 (Dulux, LRV 82.1, warm brown undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Steam (Benjamin Moore AF-15, LRV 84.2, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
