Butter Cookie
Butter Cookie is a Neutral paint color from Benjamin Moore, but its character reaches beyond a single label. Its beige and yellow classifications hint at the directions it may take as daylight, lamps and neighboring colors move around it. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
