- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Tea Green (Edward Bulmer, LRV 40.9, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — First Crush (Benjamin Moore CSP-310, LRV 71.99, 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 — New London Burgundy (Benjamin Moore HC-61, LRV 9.82, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Snow on the Mountain (Benjamin Moore 1513, LRV 80.06, warm green undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Nutmeg Cluster 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.3, warm brown undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
