Why this works

• LRV spread (10.1 → 80.1): 70-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (4 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Brookside Moss (Benjamin Moore 2145-30, LRV 35.12, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Soaring Dove (Crown, LRV 75.3, 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 — Hidey-Hole (Earthborn, LRV 10.1, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Handmade Paper (Benjamin Moore CSP-875, LRV 77.44, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — 100% Maybe (COAT, LRV 80.1, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
