Melted Butter

CSP-905

Melted Butter (CSP-905) is a soft, warm yellow with creamy beige and golden undertones. With an LRV of 76.99, it sits high on the reflectance scale, reading as a light, approachable yellow that stays well short of bold or saturated. The beige undertone anchors it closer to neutral territory than most yellows, reducing the risk of it reading too bright in south-facing rooms.

It pairs naturally with Crisp Linen CSP-305 for a tonal neutral scheme, Royal Flax CSP-315 for added depth, Cloud White OC-130 for clean trim, and Van Courtland Blue HC-145 for a complementary cool accent.
