What color is Curry? It's a deep cool yellow with the hex code #9D9101. Curry has a cool (green) undertone, which affects how it pairs with trim, flooring, and adjacent wall colors. Its LRV of 27 gives Curry depth without going dark, which makes it a strong choice for accent walls, libraries, and rooms with abundant natural light.
