Sherwin Williams

Butterfield

SW 6676

Butterfield (hex #F7BE5B) is a saturated warm yellow with noticeable orange undertones, producing a distinctly golden, sun-toned appearance. At an LRV of 57, it sits in the moderate-to-high reflectance range, bright enough to enliven a room but dense enough to read as a defined color rather than a tint. The orange base becomes more prominent under incandescent lighting.

Soft neutrals like Sherwin-Williams Creamy or Wool Skein temper its intensity on adjacent surfaces, while deep counterpoints such as Naval or Urbane Bronze provide strong value contrast. Analogous shades like Coral Reef extend its warm direction.
