Valspar

Butter Syrup

V052-6

Butter Syrup is a warm caramel brown with a golden orange base. The caramel depth suits cabinets that need a honeyed brown. Cabinetry, a den wall, or exterior accents can use this honeyed brown without looking plain.

LRV 21 keeps the color deep enough to need contrast. Dark green accents and creamy trim work especially well. In strong afternoon light, the golden undertone will become more active.
