Benjamin Moore

Delightful Golden

2158-30

Delightful Golden is a rich yellow-orange with strong warm undertones, reading as a deep golden amber on the wall. It registers an LRV of 35.16, placing it in the medium-depth range with limited light reflectance. The orange undertone gives it a toasted quality distinct from pure yellows.

It pairs well with Benjamin Moore Golden Straw, Harvest Gold, Newburyport Blue, and Stone Hearth. Using a contrasting deep blue like Newburyport Blue alongside it will offset the warmth and add visual depth to the overall scheme.
