Why this works

• LRV spread (6.3 → 80.7): 74.4-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (5 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Misty Air (Benjamin Moore OC-44, LRV 70.28, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Cornish Clay (Dulux Heritage, LRV 72.2, 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 — Mahogany (Farrow & Ball No.36, LRV 6.3, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Treacle Tart 6 (Dulux, LRV 80.7, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Wispy Pink (Benjamin Moore 2005-70, LRV 78.39, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
