Farrow & Ball

Dayroom Yellow

No. 233

Dayroom Yellow is a soft, warm yellow from Farrow & Ball with a creamy undertone that prevents it from appearing too sharp. Its LRV of 87.6 places it in the upper range of light reflectance, so it reads bright and open even in smaller rooms. It suits kitchens and dining spaces where warm tones are practical.

Under cooler daylight it stays clearly yellow, while warmer light pushes it towards buttercream. White Tie and Pointing sit well alongside it as related warm whites, while Hague Blue or Studio Green offer measured contrast. Pale Powder eases the transition to cooler walls.
