Farrow & Ball

Hound Lemon

No. 2

Hound Lemon by Farrow & Ball is a warm, soft yellow with underlying cream tones at #E4D5A6. It leans toward a muted gold rather than a sharp citrus yellow, which gives it a grounded warmth without excess brightness. The LRV of 83.4 puts it in the high-reflectance range, making it a practical option for kitchens, living rooms, and hallways that need warmth and light.

It coordinates well with Pointing, Slipper Satin, and Pelt, and can be grounded further with Hague Blue or Worsted.
