What color is Benjamin Moore Fresh Butter?
Benjamin Moore Fresh Butter 290 is a light, warm yellow with a soft golden cast and a creamy, sunlit appearance. Its muted saturation keeps it from reading as sharp or lemony, giving walls a gentle wash of color instead. In bright daylight, Fresh Butter can look pale and airy, while warmer evening lighting draws out its richer yellow notes. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, and children’s spaces, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, rattan, or brushed brass. For contrast, pair this shade with dusty blue-gray accents or deep charcoal details.

LRV of Fresh Butter
Fresh Butter has an LRV of 69.48% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident 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 69.48%, 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.
