What color is Farrow and Ball Dayroom Yellow?
Farrow and Ball Dayroom Yellow 233 is a light, buttery yellow with a softened, creamy cast rather than a sharp citrus edge. Its pale depth keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the warm yellow presence still feels noticeable. In bright daylight, it appears clearer and more luminous; under softer evening light, its mellow creaminess becomes more apparent. Use it in kitchens, breakfast rooms, or north-facing spaces that benefit from visible warmth, and pair it with crisp white trim, pale oak, natural linen, or muted blue-grey accents. It can also bring a gentle wash of color to cabinetry or a single painted interior door.

What are Farrow and Ball Dayroom Yellow undertones?
Dayroom Yellow is a very light, soft yellow with moderate saturation, so it reads as gentle and airy rather than bold or intensely sunny. The supplied digital sample shows a clear yellow direction with little red-green cast, making its visible undertone lean neutral-to-warm within the yellow family rather than strongly creamy, greenish, or orange. Farrow & Ball describes it as a “refreshing pale yellow,” which fits its light, clear yellow character. Warm artificial light may make it appear a little richer and warmer, while cool daylight can make its pale yellow quality look cleaner and slightly less golden.

LRV of Dayroom Yellow
Dayroom Yellow has an LRV of 74.74% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 74.74%, 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.
