About ochre
Ochre is the yellow of pigment, not paint chips — earthy, slightly muddy, and grounded by iron oxide. It feels archaeological, the color of Pompeii walls and Provencal farmhouses. LRV runs mid to low, so it reads warm without brightness.
Use it in plaster-walled rooms, garden offices, and powder rooms where you want depth without going dark. Pair with limewash white, terracotta floors, and aged oak. Skip glossy finishes — flat or eggshell suits it. Designer alternatives: F&B Sudbury Yellow, BM Hannukah Sage, SW Antiquarian Brown.
