Butternut Squash

1090

Butternut Squash is an earthy orange with subtle brown undertones. With an LRV of 35.18, it sits in the mid range and reads warm. It suits dining rooms, entryways, or accent walls that need a muted orange.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Chestertown Buff or Tawny Bisque for adjacent tones. Wythe Blue, Beach Glass, or Hale Navy provide cooler contrast. In north-facing light, the undertone stays cool and the shade can read deeper.
