Benjamin Moore

Gold Leaf

201 / HC-11

Gold Leaf is a deep straw shade with muted amber undertones that produce a warm, earthy yellow. With an LRV of 55.07, it offers moderate reflectivity suitable for living rooms, dining areas, and bedrooms. The amber influence adds depth without veering into orange territory.

Benjamin Moore's White Dove and Muslin highlight the golden tones, while Hale Navy or Woodland Green create strong contrast. Buttercup and Pale Moon from Benjamin Moore work as analogous companions within the yellow family.
