Benjamin Moore

Gibson Gold

378

Gibson Gold is a deep golden shade with subtle green undertones that add distinctive character and prevent it from reading as pure yellow. With an LRV of 37.39, this color provides medium light reflectance, suitable for living rooms, dining areas, or studies where warmth without excessive brightness is desired. The green influence gives the gold a more complex, nuanced appearance.

This shade works well alongside Benjamin Moore's White Dove, Soft Chamois, Hale Navy, Hunter Green, and Fernwood Green, accommodating both complementary and analogous pairings.
