Ziggy's Yellow

At #DEB77C, this shade reads as a muted ochre-yellow with warmth rather than brightness, so it gives a room colour while still feeling easy to live with. On a wall it lifts light gently rather than bouncing it around, which helps it feel settled and calm. In a north-facing room it can turn a little duskier and more earthy, while in south light it opens up and shows more of its golden side. It sits well beside natural oak, walnut and painted joinery, and it also works neatly with cottons, linens and patterned upholstery in clay, rust, cream or deep green.

Use it in a sitting room, hallway or kitchen where you want warmth on the walls or a relaxed colour for woodwork. It pairs well with timber furniture and upholstery in muted reds, browns, moss and soft ivory.
