Farrow & Ball

Citrona

No. CC3

Citrona is a yellow with a noticeable green undertone that gives it a slightly herbal, muted quality compared to purer yellows. With an LRV of 78.6, it reflects a good deal of light and reads as bright without becoming overpowering, making it suitable for kitchens, hallways, or rooms with limited natural light. The green shift in the base keeps it from feeling too warm and helps it transition smoothly into green-leaning schemes.

Cooking Apple Green and Green Ground from Farrow & Ball sit naturally alongside it, reinforcing the yellow-green direction. Wimborne White or Pointing work well for trim, while Hague Blue or Studio Green provide a deeper anchor.
