Behr

Brass Button

N280-7

Brass Button feels like aged brass. The color is a muted golden brown, more weathered metal than bright yellow. It can add depth to a powder room vanity or entry door without getting too dark.

In warm evening light, the gold-brown note becomes stronger. Charcoal accents keep it grounded. Pale oak may sit too close in value, so check that the pairing still has contrast.
