Why this works
- LRV spread (10.2 → 82.13): 71.93-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 — Fawn (Edward Bulmer, LRV 45.3, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Lilac Spring 6 (Dulux, LRV 82.1, warm pink 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 — Country Boots (Dulux, LRV 10.2, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Caramel Sand 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.4, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Light Quartz (Benjamin Moore 2011-70, LRV 82.13, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
