How they read
In their own wordsSudbury 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.
Vanillin SW 6371 is a warm, creamy white from Sherwin-Williams with an LRV of about 78. It has more pigment than a stark white, so it reads as a soft cream.
