Farrow & Ball

India Yellow

No. 66

India Yellow is a warm mustard with brown undertones that keep it from reading as bright or sharp. With an LRV of 62.8, it reflects a moderate amount of light and holds well in south- or west-facing rooms. The earthy base gives it a muted quality that works on full walls in studies, hallways, or dining rooms without becoming overwhelming.

White Tie and Joa's White handle trim transitions cleanly, and Hague Blue or Railings on doors or joinery can anchor a room. Sudbury Yellow offers a lighter option in the same range.
