A cool lemon yellow
Originally chosen by colourist John Fowler, Hound Lemon is a mysterious name for this delicate shade. With cooler undertones than many of our yellows, it feels especially fresh used in a garden-facing room, where it mimics the tones of nature outside.
This colour is from our Archive. All Archive colours are made to order just for you, so they're non-returnable. To help you pick the perfect shade for your project, you can sample our Archive with paint swatches, exclusively available online.
For selected Archive shades, we use computer generated images (labelled with 'CGI'). This is to give you an idea of how a colour looks in a space. We'd love to share images of real homes, so do let us know if you have one!

Key features
Audited and ethical supply chain
Making the very best paint and paper possible starts well before the factory. That’s why we’re meticulous about who we work with. From sourcing raw materials to delivery, all of our suppliers have to follow our strict Code of Conduct.
Being a manufacturer puts us in a privileged position: we know exactly what goes into our products and exactly where it comes from, all the way back to raw materials. Not all paint brands make paint from scratch, they buy a base paint and add a colour tint. These brands are one step further away from the process and have to try and investigate how their suppliers’ suppliers behave.
