Benjamin Moore

Golden Archway

146

Golden Archway is an intense orange with golden undertones that produce a bright, warm presence. Its LRV of 47.7 positions it in the mid-range for light reflectance, making it workable as an accent in contemporary settings. The golden cast softens the orange intensity slightly.

Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee and Simply White provide neutral balance, while Hale Navy or Revere Pewter offer grounding contrast. Suntan Yellow works as a lighter analogous option for transitional areas.

Golden Archway in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
