Why this works

• LRV spread (16.1 → 79.7): 63.6-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• 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
