Farrow & Ball

Butterweed

No. 9802

Butterweed is a soft muted yellow with a gentle warmth that stays closer to cream than to bright lemon. With an LRV of 87.4, it reflects a high amount of light and can brighten rooms noticeably, especially in spaces with southern or western exposure. It works well in kitchens, living areas, and entryways where a warm background tone is needed.

For clean pairings, Farrow & Ball's Pointing and Wimborne White work on trim, while Pale Hound and Dayroom Yellow extend the warm yellow range. For stronger contrast, Railings or Hague Blue provide a darker counterpoint.
