What color is Benjamin Moore Butterscotch?
Benjamin Moore Butterscotch 2157-30 is a medium-depth golden orange with a clear brown base that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its warm, earthy cast can read more amber in strong afternoon sun and slightly deeper or more muted under low artificial light. Use it on a dining room wall, a painted interior door, or kitchen cabinetry where its saturated color can hold its own. Pale cream, warm beige, dark walnut, aged brass, and charcoal accents give Butterscotch a convincing framework without competing with it.

LRV of Butterscotch
Butterscotch has an LRV of 34.43% 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 34.43%, 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.
