Farrow & Ball Hay No.37

Hay No.37 is a light yellow from the Farrow & Ball Signature Palette, with warm orange undertones. It sits in the light band of the Farrow & Ball palette. It reflects a generous amount of light, which makes it a dependable choice for north-facing rooms, hallways and smaller spaces that need to feel open.

Using Hay in a scheme

Dimity No.2008 is the white to run with it — it shares the same undertone, so ceilings, cornices and skirtings stay in the same key. For a scheme built on one colour, step up to Farrow's Cream No.67 on walls and down to Duster No.319 on joinery.

Try it first

A 100ml Sample Pot of Hay is supplied ready-mixed in Estate Emulsion and covers roughly a square metre — enough to paint a test patch and live with it in your own light for a day or two before ordering a full tin.

Available finishes

• Sample Pot — testing a colour on the wall before you commit (2% sheen)
• Dead Flat — ultra-matt walls, woodwork and metal (2% sheen)
• Estate Emulsion — interior walls and ceilings in low-traffic rooms (2% sheen)
• Modern Emulsion — washable, scuff-proof walls and ceilings in kitchens and bathrooms (7% sheen)
• Flat Eggshell — interior wood, metal, concrete and floors (20% sheen)
• Modern Eggshell — hard-wearing wood and metal, including floors and staircases (40% sheen)

Priming and light

Hay sits right on the line between White & Light Tones and Mid Tones Primer & Undercoat — ask us and we will confirm which one your surface calls for. Under the flat grey light we get for much of the year, pale shades lean cooler than they look on a card. Test the brightest and dullest wall in the room.
