Why this works

• LRV spread (7.6 → 81.3): 73.7-point range across 5 colours — proper architectural contrast.
• Warmth balance (3 warm · 0 cool): Built around warm tones with no cool ballast.
• Undertone harmony (Aligned): 4 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.

What each colour does

Wall — Silver Dust (Sanderson CN_SAP0125, LRV 69, warm yellow undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.

Companion — Chalky Downs 6 (Dulux, LRV 78.9, 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 — Charcoal Drift (Dulux, LRV 7.6, neutral neutral undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.

Trim — Nutmeg Cluster 6 (Dulux, LRV 81.3, warm brown undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.

Ceiling — Taupe 02 (Lick, LRV 80.2, warm pink undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
