What color is Sherwin Williams Butterscotch?
Sherwin Williams Butterscotch SW 6377 is a medium-depth golden brown with clear warm ochre and orange-brown notes. It reads sunlit and earthy in bright daylight, while evening lighting brings out its deeper, toasted character. This shade has enough pigment to hold its own on an accent wall, built-in shelving, or kitchen cabinetry rather than disappearing into the background. Pair Butterscotch with creamy off-whites, deep charcoal, aged brass, natural oak, or dark blue textiles for contrast. In a dining room, entry, or den, it can add grounded color without the sharpness of a bright yellow.

LRV of Butterscotch
Butterscotch has an LRV of 24.85% 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 24.85%, 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.
