Lemon Butter

3008-4B

Lemon Butter is a pale yellow cream with a clear buttery center. It is bright and warm. Use it in kitchens, breakfast rooms, or hallways where a gentle yellow glow feels welcome.

At room scale, it reads more yellow than cream. White trim, natural wood, or soft blue accents keeps the color from floating. Cool gray stone may make the warmth stand out more than expected.

Lemon 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.
