What color is Benjamin Moore Buttered Yam?
Benjamin Moore Buttered Yam AF-230 is a medium-depth orange-brown with a clear baked-clay cast. Its color value, #C37540, reads warmly and moderately saturated, sitting between earthy terracotta and toasted caramel rather than bright pumpkin orange. In sunny rooms, Buttered Yam can show its livelier orange side, while lower or cooler light tends to emphasize its brown, grounded base. It has enough depth for a dining room, den, or entry wall, and can also make a strong statement on cabinetry or a painted front door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural materials such as oak, leather, and woven cane.

LRV of Buttered Yam
Buttered Yam has an LRV of 24.7% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 24.7%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
