Less of a true, sunny yellow than Babouche or Yellow Ground, Print Room Yellow creates a feeling of instant warmth, especially in rooms with little natural light. While it has a beautiful rawness under direct light, the inclusion of soft ochre pigments ensures that it never feels overpowering.

Paint is like coffee. The colour is the froth on the top, but it’s the quality of the rest of the cup that makes it taste good. – Richard Ball, Farrow & Ball Co-founder
We use twelve exclusive pigments, all specifically selected for their colour intensity. We take colour seriously, so naturally, we only accept the very best. By using these same pigments to make every colour in our palette, all our shades combine effortlessly, making it easy for you to put together a cohesive colour scheme.

Extraordinary response to light

Transformed our dark cottageWe used this to decorate the inside of a very dark, North facing cottage with low ceilings. It was originally painted white and the whole thing seemed dark and dingy, even on a sunny day. Now, with Print Room Yellow, the whole space feels as if it's flooded with warm sunshine even on the darkest of days. A brave colour choice, but absolutely one to go for if you have a poorly lit space in need of a makeover. Everyone loves it!

Gorgeous yellow that really warms and brightensI've been living in my first home for just over 3 years now and am finally getting around to doing something about the blank white walls that have been in every room since I moved in! I decided to start with one of the walls in my kitchen as despite being a south-facing room, the white walls + grey fixtures combo made the room look rather cold. As there are no tester pots for this shade I was a bit nervous but took the leap of faith and... wow!! I couldn't be happier with the results. The paint went on so easily and even after just one coat the room looked so much warmer and more inviting - it catches the light particularly well in the mornings which is good news for my morning routine! I ultimately didn't go for the primer as my wall was already white, but I washed it well and used 2 coats of the Print Room Yellow and am so pleased with the depth of colour achieved. It changes with the light so while the feel is bright and warm during the day, it's got a real cosy feel in the evenings. Am still debating whether I want to paint the window wall the same colour but for now I am very happy! Would definitely use F&B paints again, I am now considering using Ultramarine Blue for my bathroom :)
