How they read
In their own wordsCitrine AF-370 is part of Benjamin Moore's Affinity collection, which Benjamin Moore describes as "a complex golden yellow that can look both luxurious and earthy." Benjamin Moore gives an LRV of 40.53.
Sudbury Yellow is an ochre-gold named for the staircase at Sudbury Hall in Derbyshire — a yellow with enough earth in it to feel historic rather than sunny. It is warm, saturated and surprisingly easy to live with, because the ochre keeps it from ever turning acid.
