Rutherford is a medium, warm brown — inviting in tone, with neutral undertones. With an LRV of 46, it balances depth and brightness, making it a strong choice for dining rooms, accent walls, and home offices. For a cross-brand equivalent, PPG's Molasses Cookie is an extremely close match. Vista Paint's Rutherford runs close as well. Try it alongside a cool-toned accent to create visual balance, or lean into warmth with natural wood tones.
