What color is Benjamin Moore Butterscotch Sundae?
Benjamin Moore Butterscotch Sundae 1147 is a warm, medium-depth caramel brown with a clear orange cast softened by earthy tan undertones. Its #BE8759 color value gives it enough saturation to read as more than a neutral, while still feeling grounded rather than bright. In sunlit rooms, this shade can show its golden warmth more clearly; lower light brings out its deeper, clay-like side. Use it on dining room walls, a study, or kitchen cabinetry with creamy off-whites, dark wood, aged brass, and natural linen. Butterscotch Sundae also makes a characterful exterior accent for a front door or shutters against pale warm siding.

LRV of Butterscotch Sundae
Butterscotch Sundae has an LRV of 29.06% 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 29.06%, 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.
