Farrow & Ball

Print Room Yellow

No. 69

Print Room Yellow is a warm, ochre-leaning yellow from Farrow & Ball with earthy undertones that prevent it from feeling sharp or acidic. Its hex code is #DCB97A and an LRV of 73.7 means it reflects plenty of light, making it a practical option for living rooms, studies, and hallways where a warm mid-tone is wanted. It has a historical, slightly aged quality that suits period interiors but also reads well in modern settings.

Farrow & Ball White Tie, Off-White, and Middleton Pink complement it in lighter schemes, while Hague Blue or Pelt offer strong tonal contrast.
