Pale Hound is a pale, aged yellow that is a lighter version of the archived Farrow & Ball shade, Hound Lemon. The name itself was chosen by the great colourist John Fowler, though its origins remain a mystery. This delicate yellow excels in sunny spaces where it appears bright and subtle, and it connects beautifully with nature in garden rooms thanks to its subtle green undertone. We recommend using our Flat Eggshell, a low-sheen, super-tough finish for interior wood, metal, and concrete. It’s exceptionally durable—fully scrubbable, stain-resistant, and scuff-resistant—making it robust enough even for floors and kitchen cabinets. As this is an Archive colour, please note that it is made to order especially for you and is therefore non-returnable.
