Butter Cookie

CSP-995

Butter Cookie is a warm beige with a subtle yellow undertone. An LRV of 71.81 places it in the light range without reading stark. It works on whole-room walls, especially in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways.

Combine it with Benjamin Moore White Dove, Soft Chamois, or Muslin for layered neutrals. Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal provide a darker counterpoint. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
