Farrow & Ball 2.5L Modern Emulsion Yellow Ground No.218

Yellow Ground was originally used as a background colour to Farrow & Ball wallpapers, and today is one of its most popular yellows. Lighter than Sudbury Yellow and warmer than Citron, it's a true sunny yellow that creates discernibly happy spaces without ever feeling overpowering.
