Valspar

Golden Butter

3002-1C

Golden Butter is a clear buttery yellow with warm orange underneath. That orange-yellow base warms morning rooms quickly. The comfortably light value makes it usable in breakfast areas, laundry rooms, or kids' spaces when the design wants cheer.

It will cast a warm glow onto nearby whites. Cream trim is smarter than blue-white here. If the room faces south, sample during the brightest part of the day to check intensity.

Golden Butter 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
