Archive Collection: Yellowcake

No.279

A vibrant yellow

Just like the classic American home bake after which it’s named, this vivid yellow has a homely feel that can’t fail to make you smile. Zingy hues like Yellowcake were incredibly popular in the 1960s, and still feel very much at home in the 21st century, especially as part of a bright mid-century modern scheme.

Recommended Primer & Undercoat: White & Light Tones

Complementary white: All White

Archive Collection: Yellowcake is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 22.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing colour! F&B yellowcake is such a fantastic colour. It looks great as an accent in a room of neutrals, as a door architrave highlight or even a piece of furniture. The paint is lovely to use and covers really well with two coats.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Featured in a magazine! I painted my front door during one of my on calls, and this product was so easy to use! It's highly pigmented and so the colour really pops! I've had many compliments on my door since, and it has even featured in a few magazines including Ideal Home!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feature wall behind white shelves We chose this colour in a dark alcove, based on an image on On&On shelving company. We also purchased their illuminated shelves. It looks absolutely amazing! Really good coverage and a lovely matt finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Product We chose Yellowcake for a medium sized bedroom used by our grandchildren when they stay over - we wanted to replace a dull colour with something bright ..... And it is that! I agree with other reviewers that the bright yellow in direct morning sunshine does transform to an acid green tinge later in the day, but we like this. I have always used estate emulsion in the past but chose modern emulsion for ease of maintenance in this room ..... I was a bit nervous as I did not want a shiny finish, but the result has a very slight sheen only. Also I found the quality of the paint amazing ... It covered some uneven walls in our old cottage really well and there was no splatter at all even when using a large roller on a pole to do the ceiling. Overall, a great success.
