Why this works
- LRV spread (6 → 70): 64-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
- Warmth balance (0 warm · 5 cool): Cool-led scheme with no warmth to break it.
- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a cool inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Aerial Tint (Edward Bulmer, LRV 70, cool blue undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — French Grey Pale (Little Greene No.161, LRV 62, soft cool 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 — Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore HC-154, LRV 6, cool blue undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — French Grey Pale (Little Greene No.161, LRV 62, soft cool undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Aerial Tint (Edward Bulmer, LRV 70, cool blue undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
