About Butterfly Kisses

Butterfly Kisses (902) is a light beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 79, Butterfly Kisses reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Butterfly Kisses's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Old Fashioned Peach (OC-79); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

N

North-facing rooms

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Butterfly Kisses can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Butterfly Kisses will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
