Citron

Citron is a warm, saturated yellow that sits on the deeper side of the spectrum, closer to gold than to lemon. With an LRV of 81.2, it reflects a high amount of light and can make rooms feel noticeably brighter, particularly in kitchens or dining areas where warm tones tend to work well under both natural and artificial light. The color holds its warmth without becoming overly sharp, which helps it function as more than just an accent.

White Tie and Off-White from Farrow & Ball pair naturally alongside it for trim and ceilings, keeping transitions smooth. For contrast, Stiffkey Blue or Hague Blue create a strong counterpoint, while Ball Green offers a softer tonal shift.
