Butternut Brown

2095-30

Butternut Brown is a rich chocolate brown with warm wood-like undertones. Its LRV of 13.21 places it in the very dark range. It is often used in studies, dining rooms, or built-ins where low reflectance is acceptable.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Dove or Ballet White for lighter trim. Salamander, Hale Navy, or Autumn Cover can be used for deeper, related accents. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
