About this colour

This shade reads as a warm ochre-leaning yellow, with enough depth to feel settled rather than pale. On a wall it lifts the room gently, while still holding some weight, so it does not wash out into a delicate cream. In a north-facing room it will look softer and slightly earthier, with the golden side pulled back by cooler light. In south-facing light it becomes fuller and richer, showing more of its honey and straw tones beside natural wood, linen whites, dark oak, walnut and muted greens. It also works well on joinery where a warm, traditional yellow is needed without the sharpness of a pure primrose.

How to use it

Bombolone suits kitchens, hallways and living rooms where you want warmth on the walls or a welcoming colour on skirting, cupboards or doors. It sits especially well beside oak furniture, cane seating, tobacco leather and muted patterned upholstery in brown, green or red-based grounds.

A warm yellow like this brings a settled glow to a wall without looking brash.
