Farrow & Ball

Sudbury Yellow

No. 51

Sudbury Yellow is a warm mid-tone yellow with restrained golden and ochre undertones. An LRV of 72 indicates high light reflectance without pushing the color into a pastel range. The hue remains stable in daylight and artificial light, avoiding sharp lemon notes.

It works well in kitchens, hallways, and rooms that receive moderate natural light. It pairs naturally with Farrow & Ball neutrals like Pointing and White Tie, while cooler anchors such as Pavilion Gray or deeper charcoals provide contrast. Earth-based companions like muted greens or terracotta tones keep the palette cohesive.
