Butterscotch Sundae

1147

Butterscotch Sundae is a warm orange with golden brown undertones. With an LRV of 29.06, it reads as a dark mid-tone and holds depth. It can be used on accent walls, dining rooms, or kitchens where warm color is needed.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Golden Straw and Lemon Chiffon for adjacent yellows. Hale Navy or Soft Cranberry add contrast, and Buttered Yam keeps the palette warm. In warmer light, the undertone stays present and the color can deepen slightly.
