Farrow & Ball

Acid Drop

No. 9908

Acid Drop is a bright yellow with a slight green undertone that keeps it closer to yellow-green than lemon. With an LRV of 73.6, it reads fairly light and can look stronger in direct sun and flatter under warm lamps. It is usually best as a secondary color on cabinetry, doors, or an accent wall rather than full-room coverage.

For a related warm range, it can sit next to Citron and Dayroom Yellow, while Skimming Stone helps reduce contrast at trim and adjacent walls. For stronger definition, Studio Green or Hague Blue provide a darker counterpoint.
