Benjamin Moore

Hathaway Gold

194

Hathaway Gold is an earthy gold with amber undertones, measured at an LRV of 43.66 in the medium range. The yellow-orange base creates warmth while the amber influence adds depth, preventing the color from reading as pure yellow. This shade works appropriately in living rooms, dining areas, and home offices.

Compatible Benjamin Moore colors include Newburyport Blue for complementary contrast, Shadow for depth, Fernwood Green for analogous pairing, White Dove for clean trim, and Classic Gray for neutral balance in adjacent spaces.
