Farrow & Ball

Octagon Yellow

No. 7

Octagon Yellow by Farrow & Ball is a mid-tone yellow with warm golden undertones, represented by the hex code #D2B073. It has an LRV of 70.1, which places it in the upper-mid range for light reflectance, so it will noticeably warm a room without making it feel overly bright. The golden-ochre character makes it a practical option for dining rooms, kitchens, and south-facing rooms where the warm tone is reinforced by natural light.

It coordinates well with Farrow & Ball colors like White Tie, New White, India Yellow, Stiffkey Blue, and Tallow.
