Sherwin Williams

Butterscotch

SW 6377

Butterscotch (hex #B67D3C) is a warm golden-brown with brown undertones that push it into deeper, more saturated territory than standard yellows. At an LRV of 25, it absorbs a notable amount of light, producing a dense, substantial presence on walls. The brown base lends an earthy warmth that reads clearly under both natural and artificial light.

Pairing with Sherwin-Williams White Duck or Creamy on trim preserves warmth while providing value contrast. Deeper accents such as Naval or Secret Garden highlight its golden character, and muted midtones like Temperate Taupe soften transitions within the palette.
