  1. #9d8e7f

    Putty Yellow Color

    Putty Yellow has no yellow to speak of. #9d8e7f is a mid taupe-grey with a warm brown tint, which is exactly what glazier’s putty turns into after a few years on a window frame. So the name earns half a point, and the putty half is spot on.

  2. #bda89c

    putty grey color bda89c

    Putty Grey Color

    Putty Grey matches its namesake, the glazing putty on old sash windows, a pinkish beige-grey. The pink undertone in #bda89c grows under warm bulbs, so skip it if you want a true neutral, because by evening it drifts toward blush.
