Melted Butter

P017

Melted Butter is a light golden cream with obvious warmth. It is buttery. The color can make a breakfast nook, bedroom, or older hallway feel sunny without using a clear yellow.

It works best with warm whites and natural wood. Strong southern exposure may intensify the gold. In a cool north room, it can help counteract gray light. Test beside countertops, because cool quartz can make the cream look richer.

Melted 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.
