Benjamin Moore

Adams Gold

HC-18 / 255

Adams Gold by Benjamin Moore is a pale golden cream with soft yellow undertones that lean warm without becoming saturated. At an LRV of 57.78, it reflects a moderate amount of light, making it functional in living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms where a warm but not overly bright tone is needed. It coordinates well with other Benjamin Moore colors such as Linen White, Rich Cream, Hawthorne Yellow, Concord Ivory, and Van Buren Brown, all of which share compatible warm bases that allow for layered wall and trim combinations.
