Benjamin Moore

Fresh Butter

290

Fresh Butter is a medium-saturation yellow with warm, creamy undertones that give it depth beyond a simple pastel. With an LRV of 69.48, this color reflects a good amount of light while maintaining presence, making it suitable for kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms. The warmth prevents the yellow from appearing too sharp or artificial.

Fresh Butter works well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White for clean pairings, Hale Navy or Charcoal Slate for grounding contrast, and Saybrook Sage or Guilford Green for softer complementary combinations.
