Sherwin Williams Butternut SW 6389

Sherwin Williams Butternut SW 6389 is a warm, medium-depth golden tan with clear yellow-orange undertones. Its earthy richness gives walls more presence than a pale beige while remaining softer than a bold ochre. In bright natural light, Butternut reads sunny and honeyed; in dimmer rooms, it settles into a deeper caramel-gold. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, mudrooms, and powder rooms where a grounded warm color feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, warm charcoal, or dark brown wood, and use aged brass or blackened metal for contrast. This shade can also make a characterful choice for cabinetry or an exterior front door.
