Custard


Good Day Sunshine! These twin sisters are too light to be butterscotch, but they're too dark to be creamed corn. All is well. They are known as custard, a textbook shade of yellow that's probably the happiest color in all of Bakelite world. Off the record (and if my hunch is correct), I believe these buttons are among my oldest (circa 1919). Bright as they are, this pair exudes a discreet seniority.
