- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Purbeck Stone (Farrow & Ball No.275, LRV 50, warm brown undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Downtime (COAT, LRV 86, 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 — Oriental Red (Craig & Rose, LRV 15.9, warm orange undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — White Marigold (Benjamin Moore 2149-60, LRV 77.4, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Silverflake (Sanderson CN_SAP0129, LRV 79.1, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
