• Warmth balance (3 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Taupe 05 (Lick, LRV 41.7, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Wispy Pink (Benjamin Moore 2005-70, LRV 78.39, 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 — Black Bean Soup (Benjamin Moore 2130-10, LRV 6.1, warm brown undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Chiffon White 1 (Dulux, LRV 74.9, neutral grey undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Pantry White (Craig & Rose, LRV 76.1, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
