About this colour

This shade reads as a muted ochre-yellow with a soft brown warmth, so it feels grounded rather than lemony. In north-facing light it can look deeper and more honeyed, with the warmth slightly tempered by cooler shadows. In south-facing rooms it opens out more clearly, showing its golden side and reflecting a useful amount of light without becoming pale. It sits well beside dark timber, walnut, painted ivory woodwork, and upholstery in russet, sage, or deep blue-green tones.

How to use it

Sunflower suits sitting rooms, studies, and hallways where you want warmth on the wall without glare. It works especially well with stained woodwork, cream trim, and seating in linen, velvet, or patterned Morris & Co. textiles.

On a wall, Sunflower gives a room a warm golden note that feels settled and easy to live with.
