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

What each colour does

Wall — Soumak (Paint & Paper Library, LRV 11.3, warm red undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Flush Pink (Benjamin Moore 2081-70, LRV 80.14, 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 — Tavern Charcoal (Benjamin Moore CW-90, LRV 9.71, warm green undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Pink 01 (Lick, LRV 77.3, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Foggy Morning (Benjamin Moore 2106-70, LRV 76.09, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
