What color is Farrow and Ball Citrona?
Farrow and Ball Citrona CC3 is a muted golden yellow with a soft, slightly earthy cast rather than a sharp lemon brightness. Its #dbcc7c value gives it a light-to-mid depth, with enough ochre warmth to feel grounded on larger walls. In daylight, Citrona can read as a gentle buttery yellow, while lower light may bring out its more subdued, khaki-leaning side. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and sunny hallways, and can also add welcome color to painted cabinetry or a front door. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, woven textures, and clay or olive-toned accents for a layered finish.

LRV of Citrona
Citrona has an LRV of 57.28% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 57.28%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
