The colours this
property does not have.
327 readings say what exists. These are the colours the system still needs and cannot supply from any object on site — each one derived from the founder anchors by a stated method, checked against every measured reading, and marked proposed so it can never be mistaken for something owned.

The umbrella renders the founder chose both point here: his Burnt Umber pick sits ΔE00 0.7 from the Pendleton pillow — one of his own 53 — and his Cherry Red pick beside the staircase tapestry red. The muted end of the lever, both times.

Gallery Cream
light ground · core
undertone tintΔE 7.4 to nearest measured
The amber–timber undertone (h 66°) lifted to L* 85 and cut to chroma 7 — a tint of the anchors, not a stark white.
#DFD2C8 · CIELAB 85 / 7 / 66° · OKLCh 0.87 / 0.020 / 60°
nearest measured: #CACBCB (Instr - DW Drumkit)
- Fills
- The property's largest measured gap: no room averages above L* 50, and on camera that reads as one continuous brown.

- Source it
- A warm gallery white with red-yellow undertone — the warm-white family of a heritage paint range (Farrow & Ball's warm whites are the reference family). Undyed or lightly bleached wool, linen, cotton. Nothing optically brightened — OBA whites go cyan on camera.

Tobacco Umber
house dark · core
warmed blackΔE 6.0 to nearest measured
Black warmed toward the anchors — hue held between wood brown and mustard (h 76°), floored at L* 14.5 so grain still reads. Never flat #000.

- A deliberate brand dark: the measured near-blacks belong to instruments, not to the system.

- Blackened steel, aged bronze, dark waxed leather. In paint: an off-black with a brown-olive undertone (the Lamp Black / Obsidian Green family of darks), never a pure black.

Console Slate
cool counterweight · core
near complementΔE 6.0 to nearest measured
The near-complement of the warm mass (warm centre h≈57° → h 251°), mid lightness, chroma tempered to 24 — slate, not teal, not cobalt.

- Every measured blue is bolted into a rack. A cool accent has to be bought, and this is its value: the console faceplate blue in movable form.

Dusty Plum

tone-matched complementΔE 13.9 to nearest measured
The muted complement of Rain Forest green (h 345°), tone-matched to the earths at L* 45 / C* 27 — the same deep-soft register as the building.

Warm Stone

tonal ladderΔE 6.0 to nearest measured
The cream's deeper cousin: same undertone, stepped down to L* 67 / C* 17 — the missing rung between the timber and the light.

- A photographable mid surface that is neither dark timber nor near-white — the backdrop plane the rooms do not have.

chroma twinΔE 12.1 to nearest measured
Console Slate with its chroma halved (C* 12) at the same lightness — the muted end of the same lever, for cool that spreads.

The amber anchor lifted to L* 58 at C* 27 — above the tapestry range, below the clipping band, beside skin without fighting it.
