How they read
In their own wordsSavage Ground is a warm, sandy beige from Farrow & Ball's archive — a yellow-leaning neutral that reads as sunlit rather than safe. It is the color of a stone floor in a Provençal kitchen, and it makes a room feel warmer without asking anyone to notice why.
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.
