Cane is a light yellow from Farrow & Ball. As a premium paint, it’s a popular colour to seek out close matches and value-brand alternatives to.
Drops Of Honey by Johnstone's is the closest match from any other brand (near-identical) — and it holds Cane’s lightness, warmth and saturation alike. It’s also the best-value tier of the close matches — unusual, as the nearest match and the best-value one usually differ. Only one of the 8 other brands manages a near-identical match, which makes Cane fairly distinctive. LRV is estimated from each brand’s swatch, so order testers before committing.
Below is every genuinely close match to Cane from the other eight brands — ranked purely by closeness, so where one brand has several near-misses, they all appear. For the single best match per brand, see the Cane colour page.
The nearest Dulux colour is Caramel Crunch (very close). It won’t be pixel-perfect, so order a tester before committing.
Of the close matches, Drops Of Honey by Johnstone's is the best-value option (value, near-identical).
The list shows every genuinely close match from other brands, ranked nearest-first by perceptual colour difference — including several from one brand where they’re all close. Screens differ from paint on a wall, so treat these as a shortlist and always order tester pots.
