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.
