Butterfield

897

Butterfield is a warm yellow with soft buttery undertones. With an LRV of 84.95, it is very light and reflective. It suits kitchens, entryways, or small rooms that need a light warm wall.

Use Benjamin Moore White Dove or Simply White for trim and adjacent whites. Guilford Green or Palladian Blue add cooler contrast, and Hale Navy provides depth. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.
