Farrow & Ball

Ciara Yellow

No. 73

Ciara Yellow is a warm yellow with noticeable golden undertones that keep it from reading too cool or acidic. With an LRV of 76.9, it reflects a substantial amount of light and can open up smaller rooms or reinforce brightness in south-facing spaces. The golden base gives it a slightly honeyed quality on the wall, especially under warm artificial lighting.

It pairs well with White Tie or Pale Hound for a tonal, low-contrast scheme that stays within the same warm range. For stronger definition, deeper shades like Hague Blue or Studio Green from Farrow & Ball offer a grounding counterpoint without competing with the warmth.
