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.
