Why this works
- LRV spread (7 → 82): 75-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (2 warm · 1 cool): Built around warm tones with cool anchors.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a neutral inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Pea Shoot (Dulux, LRV 39.9, neutral grey undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Natural Taupe 4 (Dulux, LRV 82, warm brown 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 — Mahogany (Farrow & Ball No.36, LRV 7, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Wishbone White (Dulux Heritage, LRV 79.9, neutral neutral undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Pale Vista (Benjamin Moore 2029-60, LRV 78.7, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
