What color is Benjamin Moore Sweet Butter?
Benjamin Moore Sweet Butter 171 is a light, creamy yellow with a clear golden warmth that keeps it from reading pale or chalky. Its #FCDB94 color value suggests a sunny, softly saturated tone that can look richer in afternoon light and gentler under diffuse morning light. Sweet Butter brings welcome color to kitchens, breakfast rooms, and laundry spaces, especially alongside warm white trim or natural oak. It also suits cabinetry or a painted interior door when a full room of yellow feels like too much. Pair it with muted greens, terracotta accents, woven rattan, and aged brass for a grounded, lived-in look.

LRV of Sweet Butter
Sweet Butter has an LRV of 69.64% 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 69.64%, 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.
