- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a neutral inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Chalky Downs 3 (Dulux, LRV 50, neutral green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Iced Leaf (Dulux, LRV 85.8, neutral 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 — Carter Plum (Benjamin Moore CW-355, LRV 10.07, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Himalayan Musk 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.7, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Edelweiss White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 80.5, neutral neutral undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
