Goldsmith

CSP-960

Goldsmith is a rich, saturated gold with warm undertones that create a deep, lustrous appearance. The LRV of 29.99 indicates significant light absorption, making this color suitable for accent walls or smaller applications in dining rooms, living areas, or entryways. Its depth requires thoughtful lighting consideration to maintain color accuracy.

Pair with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy or Hunter Green for contrast, or use Swiss Coffee, Revere Pewter, and New London Burgundy to build a layered scheme.
