What color is Farrow and Ball Yellow Ground?
Farrow and Ball Yellow Ground 218 is a warm, softened yellow with a creamy cast rather than a sharp, citrus brightness. Its golden-beige undertone keeps the color grounded, giving it enough depth for walls without making a room feel overly saturated. In strong daylight, Yellow Ground reads as a clear buttery yellow, while lower or warmer light brings out its richer honeyed side. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, and hallways particularly well, where its warmth can brighten broad wall areas. Pair it with chalky off-whites, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or muted olive and sage accents for a comfortably layered scheme.

LRV of Yellow Ground
Yellow Ground has an LRV of 63.74% 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 63.74%, 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.
