Benjamin Moore

Golden Thread

CSP-920

Golden Thread is a vibrant yellow with warm, golden undertones that lean slightly toward amber. With an LRV of 49.76, this color provides moderate light reflection suitable for living rooms or dining areas where controlled warmth is needed. The yellow base carries enough depth to serve as a statement wall color while remaining workable as a broader application.

This shade coordinates well with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy for contrast, or with softer companions like White Dove, Revere Pewter, and Guilford Green for a more unified scheme.
