Hog Plum 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.
Lime Zest 4 by Dulux is the closest match from any other brand (very close) — though it’s lighter (about 4 LRV points). The closest value-tier option is Chlorophyll by Johnstone's (very close), slightly cooler and slightly softer. A cooler match reads cooler still in a north-facing room, where the light is indirect. Only one of the 8 other brands manages a near-identical match, which makes Hog Plum fairly distinctive. LRV is estimated from each brand’s swatch, so order testers before committing.
