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

What each colour does

Wall — Grasslands (Benjamin Moore CC-590, LRV 41.82, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — White Lead (Edward Bulmer, LRV 90.8, 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 — Bricktone Red (Benjamin Moore 2005-30, LRV 14.37, warm brown 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 — Subtle Ivory 2 (Dulux, LRV 81.6, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
