Glidden

Butterscotch Ripple

PPG1106-7

Butterscotch Ripple is a medium amber brown with a golden undertone, suited to built-ins, mudroom storage, or a den wall. Use it where a warm neutral should feel sturdy beside lighter furnishings. Ivory, dark bronze, or green upholstery can give the color a settled backdrop.

In a sunny room, the caramel side becomes more noticeable. The shade feels toasted.
