Benjamin Moore

Hollywood Gold

279

Hollywood Gold is a deep ochre yellow with warm undertones that produce a rich, saturated appearance. With an LRV of 40.45, it sits in the mid-range, providing noticeable color depth without darkening a room excessively. The ochre character makes it suitable for living rooms or dining areas where warmth is a priority.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Manchester Tan pair well as lighter neutrals to balance the saturation. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer contrast, while Rich Olive and Saybrook Sage provide analogous harmony.

Hollywood Gold in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
