Benjamin Moore

Gold Rush

2166-10

Gold Rush is a coppery orange with a brown undertone that anchors its warm character. The LRV of 18.75 makes this a darker shade that absorbs more light, suitable for accent walls in living rooms or dining areas where a cozy atmosphere is wanted. The brown base prevents the orange from appearing too bright.

Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy and Van Deusen Blue create striking contrast, while Hawthorne Yellow and Manchester Tan offer warmer, harmonious pairings.
