- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — London Stone (Farrow & Ball No.6, LRV 37, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Cashmere IV (Paint & Paper Library, LRV 75.4, 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 — Bordéaux Red (Benjamin Moore 1365, LRV 9.32, warm violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Cloudy Gray (Benjamin Moore 2107-70, LRV 77.37, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Velvet Truffle 6 (Dulux, LRV 79.6, warm brown undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
