Buff as an RYB quaternary colour
  citron
  buff[1]
  russet

Buff (Latin: bubalinus)[2][3] is a light brownish yellow, ochreous colour, typical of buff leather.[4][5] Buff is a mixture of yellow ochre and white:[6] two parts of white lead and one part of yellow ochre produces a good buff, or white lead may be tinted with French ochre alone.[7]

As an RYB quaternary colour, it is the colour produced by an equal mix of the tertiary colours citron and russet.[8]
