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

What each colour does

Wall — Ash Grey (Edward Bulmer, LRV 43.4, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Wiltshire White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 81.5, neutral grey 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 — Deep Reddish Brown (Farrow & Ball No.W101, LRV 8, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Antique Pearl (Benjamin Moore 2113-70, LRV 72.43, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — White Mountains (Benjamin Moore 906, LRV 80.54, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
