Golden Meadow

2165-20

Golden Meadow is a deep, honeyed yellow with distinct orange undertones and an LRV of 23.3, placing it in the medium-dark range. The lower reflectance makes it suitable for accent walls, dining rooms, or spaces where a warmer, more enveloping atmosphere is desired. This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore Rich Cream for lighter adjacent surfaces, Hale Navy for strong contrast, Chocolate Candy Brown for grounding trim or furniture, White Dove for ceiling applications, and Golden Straw for a tonal transition.
