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

What each colour does

Wall — Batik (Benjamin Moore AF-610, LRV 50.43, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Woodmont Cream (Benjamin Moore 204, LRV 80.46, 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 — Intense Chestnut (Dulux, LRV 5.2, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Porcelain II (Paint & Paper Library PPL-9, LRV 82.3, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Roman White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 81.2, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
