Butternut reads as a cozy light, warm orange, shaped by its warm golden undertones. With an LRV of 63, it brings warmth without overwhelming a space, well-suited for main living areas and dining rooms. The closest cross-brand match is Behr's Hammered Gold, a near-identical match. PPG's Bran Muffin is another strong alternative. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
