Benjamin Moore

Buena Vista Gold

209

Buena Vista Gold is a deep yellow with a subtle orange undertone. Its LRV of 48.95 places it in the mid range, so it reads warm without becoming too dark. It can be used in dining rooms, living rooms, or entryways where a golden tone is needed.

It pairs with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Manchester Tan for warm balance, and with Hale Navy or Salamander for contrast; Golden Straw or Hawthorne Yellow can extend the yellow range.

Buena Vista Gold in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
