# Farrow and Ball Babouche

Farrow and Ball Babouche 223 is a warm, sunlit yellow with a softly earthy, golden cast rather than a sharp lemon brightness. Its #e8c267 tone has enough depth to feel grounded on broad walls, especially in kitchens, dining rooms, and north-facing spaces that need visual warmth. In direct daylight, Babouche reads clearer and more cheerful; under evening lamps, its ochre-leaning warmth becomes more noticeable. Pair it with chalky whites, muted blue-greens, natural oak, woven cane, or aged brass for a relaxed, lived-in contrast. It also makes an effective choice for cabinet fronts, a painted pantry door, or a small exterior detail where a confident yellow is welcome.
