Benjamin Moore

Butter

2023-60

Butter is a light yellow with a soft warm undertone. Its LRV of 85.57 makes it very light and reflective. It is suitable for kitchens, breakfast areas, or small rooms that need higher light bounce.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Edgecomb Gray for neutral balance. Lemon Chiffon or Windham Cream keep the palette warm, while Deep Royal adds contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
