Benjamin Moore

Damask Gold

CW-405

Damask Gold is a rich golden yellow inspired by 1760s wallpaper fragments, carrying clear yellow undertones that read warm and saturated on the wall. Its LRV of 48.11 places it in the mid-range, reflecting a moderate amount of light. This makes it substantial enough to anchor a room without darkening it significantly.

Benjamin Moore Shaker Beige and Lenox Tan complement its warmth as supporting neutrals, while Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy offer firm contrast. Tate Olive rounds out a palette with an earthy, tonal direction.

Damask 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.
