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

What each colour does

Wall — Mellow Mocha (Dulux, LRV 62, warm pink undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Paper Mache (Benjamin Moore AF-25, LRV 84.57, 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 — Tawny Owl (Dulux, LRV 10.3, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Cocoa Blush 6 (Dulux, LRV 81, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Gentle Blush (Benjamin Moore 2084-70, LRV 79.69, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
