The Story Behind Butter Yellow (NIO)

The character of the shade, and why it works on modern vehicles.

Yellow high gloss color PPF with mid tone visual depth and premium surface finish.

Butter Yellow (NIO) sits within our Yellow color family and is built on self-healing TPU — so it protects the original paint while delivering the finish you chose, not just a temporary color change.

How Butter Yellow (NIO) Shifts in Different Light

The same film reads differently as the light changes — plan around it.

  • Direct sunlight: Butter Yellow (NIO) appears brighter and more vivid, with the finish and surface structure most visible.
  • Overcast light: The color becomes more even and controlled, making the base tone easier to evaluate.
  • Shade: The color looks deeper and slightly more saturated, with reduced highlight intensity.
  • Golden hour: Warm light adds subtle richness and may soften cooler undertones.
  • Indoor or garage lighting: The finish appears darker and more dramatic, with local light sources defining the body lines.
  • Night: Reflections from streetlights and signage emphasize gloss and shape without changing the core color.
