Rodda Yellow Paint Colors
all 6, sorted honestly
Every yellow in the Cascadia + Northwest deck — 6 colors, LRV 70 down to 27 — grouped by undertone and depth.
All 6 Rodda yellow paint colors
Grouped by undertone (warm → cool)Hex values are display approximations from Rodda's published swatch tools — not guaranteed to match a physical sample under controlled lighting. Order a brand-direct sample before specifying.
All six of these yellows mix to order at Rodda's own stores across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska, most often into the zero-VOC Horizon interior line. There's no national retail channel — you won't find Rodda at Home Depot or Lowe's.
If you're outside the PNW footprint, every one of these colors has a published hex and can be color-matched at Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or any other brand's counter, so the color itself isn't out of reach even if the can is.
Light to Dark
The whole Rodda yellow range by depth. LRV is the number to trust — the same yellow looks two steps darker on a wall than on a chip.
The spread here — LRV 27 to 70 — is wide enough that LRV does real work sorting this family. Butter (CA128) at LRV 70 is genuinely bright and will lighten a room the way a pale neutral does. Drop to Maize (CA137) or Durum Wheat (R052), both LRV 59, and you get a color with more presence but still plenty of light bounce.
Heathered Herb (R050, LRV 42) is the midpoint, dim enough to read as a wall color rather than an accent. Below that, Bronzite (R053, LRV 31) and Aberdeen (R051, LRV 27) behave more like a bronze or gold accent than a wall-filling yellow — expect them to absorb light rather than reflect it.
Rodda Yellows by Room
Each room page shows yellow picks from every US brand side by side — Rodda included — so you can compare in context.
Butter (CA128, LRV 70) works as a soft, warm whole-room wall color — kitchens, dining rooms, entries — anywhere you want warmth without a bold statement. Maize (CA137) and Durum Wheat (R052) suit the same rooms with a bit more saturation, good for a kitchen island or a mudroom that wants some cheer under the Pacific Northwest's grey daylight, where a warm yellow does real work brightening a room on an overcast day.
Heathered Herb (R050) reads well as an accent wall or on cabinetry where an olive-gold feels intentional rather than dated. Bronzite (R053) and Aberdeen (R051) are better suited to trim, a front door, or a small accent than a full wall — at LRV 27-31 they'll darken a room fast if used everywhere.

What Rodda Yellows Actually Look Like
Rodda keeps its yellow family small and purposeful — six colors, spanning from a pale butter cream down to a deep bronze-gold, drawn across both the Cascadia and Northwest Color Collection decks. Butter (CA128, LRV 70) is the brightest, a soft warm cream that reads more like a light neutral than a bold yellow.
Maize (CA137, LRV 59) and Durum Wheat (R052, LRV 59) sit close together in the middle, both warm golden-wheat tones. Heathered Herb (R050, LRV 42) shifts toward olive, a yellow with enough green mixed in to read as a muted khaki. Bronzite (R053, LRV 31) and Aberdeen (R051, LRV 27) anchor the dark end as deep, earthy golds — closer to a bronze or antique-brass paint color than a classic yellow.
Pairing With Rodda Neutrals and Greens
Rodda's yellows pair naturally with the brand's greens and browns, since several of the darker yellows already lean olive or bronze. Heathered Herb (R050) sits close in tone to some of the brand's muted greens, and either works as a bridge between a yellow wall and a green accent.
For a cleaner look, run Butter (CA128) or Maize (CA137) on walls with a Rodda white or light neutral on trim, and save Bronzite (R053) or Aberdeen (R051) for a door, shutters, or furniture where the deeper gold reads as an intentional accent rather than the room's whole personality.
The Questions Everyone Asks
What's the brightest yellow Rodda makes?
Butter (CA128) at LRV 70 is the lightest and brightest color in Rodda's yellow family, a soft warm cream rather than a bold yellow. If you want more saturation while staying light, Maize (CA137) and Durum Wheat (R052), both LRV 59, are the next step down and still reflect plenty of light.
Does Rodda make a mustard or olive yellow?
Yes. Heathered Herb (R050, LRV 42) is the closest thing in the family, a yellow with enough green mixed in to read as an olive-khaki rather than a classic yellow. Bronzite (R053, LRV 31) and Aberdeen (R051, LRV 27) go further into bronze and antique-gold territory.
Are Rodda's yellows good for a kitchen?
Butter (CA128) and Maize (CA137) are the most popular kitchen picks in this family — both light enough to keep a kitchen bright, warm enough to feel welcoming under the Pacific Northwest's often-overcast daylight. Save the darker golds like Bronzite (R053) for an island or accent rather than every wall.
How dark does Rodda's yellow family get?
Aberdeen (R051) is the darkest at LRV 27, a deep, earthy gold that reads closer to a bronze paint than a bright yellow. Bronzite (R053, LRV 31) is close behind. Both work better as an accent, door, or trim color than a full wall, since they absorb more light than they reflect.
Where can I buy Rodda's yellow colors?
Through Rodda's own stores across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska — use the store locator at roddapaint.com. Rodda doesn't sell through Home Depot, Lowe's, or any national big-box chain, so outside that five-state footprint there's no direct retail channel.
Can I get a Rodda yellow color-matched somewhere else?
Yes. Every Rodda color publishes a hex code, and any paint counter, including national brands like Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore, can mix a match from it. That's the practical route if you like a color like Maize or Heathered Herb but don't have a Rodda store nearby.
