• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Powdered Heather (Dulux, LRV 48.1, neutral violet undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Safe Play (COAT, LRV 81.8, 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 — Chili Pepper (Benjamin Moore 2004-20, LRV 13.44, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Golden Jasmine 3 (Dulux, LRV 82.5, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Clock Face (Dulux, LRV 82.1, warm brown undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
