- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Pressed Putty (Dulux, LRV 46.8, warm brown undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Wood Ash (Benjamin Moore 1065, LRV 76.62, 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 — Spinning Wheel (Dulux, LRV 6.9, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Holland Park No.5 (Mylands No.5, LRV 81.8, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Grecian White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 81.7, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
