Why this works

• LRV spread (40 → 67): 27-point range across 5 colours — balanced contrast that holds together.
• Warmth balance (2 warm · 1 cool): Built around warm tones with cool anchors.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Cromarty (Farrow & Ball No.285, LRV 60, cool green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Setting Plaster (Farrow & Ball No.231, LRV 56, 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 — Cinder Rose (Farrow & Ball No.246, LRV 40, cool violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Skimming Stone (Farrow & Ball No.241, LRV 67, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Skimming Stone (Farrow & Ball No.241, LRV 67, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
