Benjamin Moore

Autumn Gold

2152-30

Autumn Gold is an ochre with strong golden undertones and an LRV of 36.29, placing it in the moderate reflectance range where it reads as distinctly warm without becoming overly bright. The hex value #C59E55 confirms its position between deep gold and soft mustard on the yellow-orange axis. Benjamin Moore Golden Straw and Suntan Yellow sit close on the tonal scale and create cohesive warm groupings.

Hudson Bay Blue and Dark Celery provide cool and green-toned contrast respectively, while White Dove works as a clean high-LRV trim color alongside it.
