What color is Farrow and Ball Acid Drop?

Farrow and Ball Acid Drop 9908 is a muted yellow-green with a soft, chalky cast rather than a sharp citrus brightness. Its green undertone keeps the yellow grounded, giving it a light-to-mid-depth appearance that can read more olive in lower light and clearer yellow in bright daylight. Acid Drop suits kitchen cabinetry, a painted pantry door, or a small garden room where its unusual hue can be used with confidence. Pair it with warm off-whites, natural oak, aged brass, and terracotta-toned tiles to bring out its earthy side. For more contrast, try it against deep charcoal or an inky blue-green accent.

What are Farrow and Ball Acid Drop undertones?

The supplied digital color reads as a mid-light, softly saturated yellow-green with a clear lime character. Its visible undertone leans slightly green relative to a straightforward yellow, which keeps it from reading as golden or mustardy. Farrow & Ball describes Acid Drop as a vibrant lime green and a bright, energetic citrus shade, which matches its visible yellow-green main color family. Warm artificial light may bring out more of its yellow side, while cool daylight can make the green bias easier to notice.
