Valspar

Buttered Up

V053-3

Buttered Up is a warm golden yellow with a creamy orange undertone. The creamy orange base keeps the yellow warm, not lemony. A breakfast nook, pantry, or laundry room handles it when warmth is the goal.

The shade can bounce light but still has enough saturation to feel colorful. Natural wood and a soft trim white keep it easy. Cool gray counters may make it look brighter.

Buttered Up in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
