Benjamin Moore

Gold Mine

2155-20

Gold Mine is a saturated hue combining yellow, orange, and amber undertones for a warm, high-impact color. The LRV of 33.84 indicates lower light reflectance, giving it depth and richness appropriate for accent applications in living rooms or dining spaces. Benjamin Moore's Simply White or Cloud Cover balance the intensity, while Hale Navy provides complementary contrast.

Forest Floor pairs well for an earthy scheme. Autumn Cover offers analogous warmth when a cohesive orange-yellow palette is desired.
