- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 3 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Ionic No.87 (Mylands No.87, LRV 42.8, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Cream Froth (Benjamin Moore OC-97, LRV 86.22, 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 — Damson (Craig & Rose, LRV 6.5, cool violet undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Matterhorn (Sanderson CN_SAP0085, LRV 83.9, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Amazon Jungle 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.1, neutral green undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
