Butter Milk

CC-216 / 303

Butter Milk is a pale yellow with warm undertones. Its LRV of 80.33 keeps it light and reflective in most lighting. It is commonly used in kitchens, nurseries, or sun-exposed rooms where low contrast is desired.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White for clean trim. Saybrook Sage or Hale Navy add muted green or deep blue contrast. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
