How they read
In their own wordsDayroom Yellow No. 233 is a pale yellow from Farrow & Ball, which calls it "a typical Regency colour" that takes its name from the light-filled dayrooms of the period.
India Yellow is Farrow & Ball's deep mustard, described by the brand as "a strong and moody yellow". It is famously named after the pigment once collected from the urine of cows fed on mango leaves, and that story tells you what to expect: a yellow with earth and a little brown in it, closer to ochre than to lemon. Farrow & Ball names New White as its complementary white and suggests using it in moderation in small rooms, where its intensity can take over.
