Golden Nugget

2019-20

Golden Nugget is a vibrant golden orange with strong warm undertones and an LRV of 50.37.

It coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim, Swiss Coffee for a warmer white pairing, Hale Navy for high-contrast applications, Hunter Green for complementary depth, and Hawthorne Yellow for transitional areas requiring a tonal connection.
