What color is Benjamin Moore Butternut Squash?
Benjamin Moore Butternut Squash 1090 is a muted golden tan with a soft, earthy cast rather than a bright yellow-orange look. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while keeping the overall effect grounded and relaxed. In warm daylight, Butternut Squash can appear more honeyed and golden, while cooler light may bring out its slightly subdued beige-brown side. It suits kitchens, dining rooms, entryways, and studies, especially alongside creamy off-whites, olive greens, aged brass, natural oak, and leather. Use this shade on full walls or cabinetry when you want a warm neutral that has more presence than standard beige.

LRV of Butternut Squash
Butternut Squash has an LRV of 35.18% 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 35.18%, 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.
