Citron is a pale yellow from Farrow & Ball. As a premium paint, it’s a popular colour to seek out close matches and value-brand alternatives to.
Gloriana by Craig & Rose is the closest match from any other brand (near-identical) — though it’s darker (about 2 LRV points). The closest value-tier option is Firelight by Johnstone's (very close), slightly warmer and slightly more saturated. A warmer match reads warmer again in a south-facing room that gets direct sun. Only one of the 8 other brands manages a near-identical match, which makes Citron fairly distinctive. LRV is estimated from each brand’s swatch, so order testers before committing.
Below is every genuinely close match to Citron 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 Citron colour page.
The nearest Dulux colour is Sunny Day (very close). It won’t be pixel-perfect, so order a tester before committing.
Of the close matches, Firelight by Johnstone's is the best-value option (value, very close).
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.
