A traditional mid yellow
This soft mid yellow takes its name from the staircase at Sudbury Hall, where renowned colourist John Fowler used this shade to such great effect. Sudbury Yellow is particularly responsive to changes in light, reading as cleaner and brighter in well lit rooms or softening in dimly lit spaces alongside a stronger contrast like New White.
Available in our brand new Dead Flat finish for walls, woodwork and metal.
Recommended Primer & Undercoat: Mid Tones

Wonderful in all lights
I previously painted my north-facing study in this shade and it transformed what had been a beautiful but aesthetically chilly space into one of inviting warmth. Recently, I experimented with red hues in sample pots for the walls in my bedroom. All were lovely but none quite worked and so, I ended up having the walls painted in Sudbury Yellow. This paint is truly versatile and responds wonderfully to changes in light as the day/night wears on. My bedroom has a very high ceiling, was formerly a pale gold (not F & B) which hadn’t worn well and is south-facing. It has been transformed and a huge plus in having chosen it is that my paintings now look wonderfully defined. Wonderful paint (only needed one coat), gorgeous shade!

Great color
Such a beautiful color. Lighter than India Yellow, but gives a warm glow in the same way. It goes on like a dream. Our stained wood furniture looks amazing with it.
