Butterscotch vs Outgoing Orange
Where Butterscotch belongs to Benjamin Moore's range, Outgoing Orange is a Sherwin-Williams color. These are both beiges, so the question isn't which hue to choose — it's where within beige to land. Outgoing Orange (LRV 39) reflects noticeably more light than Butterscotch (LRV 34), a difference of 5 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Butterscotch runs red while Outgoing Orange is decidedly warm, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 6.3 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
