• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Grey 18 (Lick, LRV 44.3, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Gentle Blush (Benjamin Moore 2084-70, LRV 79.69, 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 — Cordovan Brown (Benjamin Moore ES-62, LRV 6, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Sorilla (Sanderson CN_SAP0135, LRV 83.7, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Royal Silk (Benjamin Moore 939, LRV 77.89, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
