El Sereno Gold

223

El Sereno Gold is a golden ochre with prominent yellow undertones that give it a warm, saturated character. It has an LRV of 32.61, positioning it in the mid-tone range with moderate reflectance. The yellow base makes it sensitive to cool light, which can shift it slightly toward green.

It performs best in spaces with warm or neutral lighting. Pair it with Benjamin Moore White Sand or Monterey White for lighter contrast, Hale Navy or Black Forest Green for strong value contrast, and Pale Moon for tonal blending.
