- Undertone harmony (Aligned): 5 of 5 carry a warm inflection — they speak the same language.
What each colour does
Wall — Silver Fern (Sanderson CN_SAP0126, LRV 50.5, warm green undertone). The main hero of the scheme — fills your largest surface.
Companion — Chalky White 2 (Dulux, LRV 81.5, 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 — Pancake Syrup (Benjamin Moore 2104-10, LRV 8.37, warm red undertone). For smaller surfaces — doors, alcoves, picture rails, a feature joinery piece.
Trim — Touch of Pink (Benjamin Moore 2008-70, LRV 81.28, warm pink undertone). Skirting, architraves, frames. Usually pale, lets the main colours breathe.
Ceiling — Celery Salt (Benjamin Moore OC-136, LRV 74.93, warm yellow undertone). Recommended ceiling colour for this scheme.
