Butternut is a inviting medium, warm brown with rich amber undertones. With an LRV of 38, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Iron Oxide, an extremely close match. Hirshfield's's Burnt Umber is another strong alternative. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
