• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Beech Grey (Sanderson CN_SAP0008, LRV 40.6, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Joanna (Little Greene LG 28, LRV 81.9, 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 — Tarpley Brown (Benjamin Moore CW-170, LRV 6.24, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Capitol White (Benjamin Moore CW-10, LRV 86.93, warm yellow undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Parchment (Edward Bulmer 3, LRV 77.9). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
