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

What each colour does

Wall — Fragrant Herb (Dulux, LRV 37.3, warm grey undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — New Edinburgh White Light (Edward Bulmer, LRV 78.8, 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 — Tempered Chocolate (Dulux, LRV 5.1, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Blush Rambler 6 (Dulux, LRV 80.6, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Cameo Silk 4 (Dulux, LRV 80.1, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
