Benjamin Moore

Jamesboro Gold

HC-88 / 245

Jamesboro Gold (LRV 24.43) is a warm brown-leaning neutral with yellow and amber undertones that distinguish it from cooler taupes. At its medium-low reflectance, it registers as a substantial wall color without becoming heavy. The warmth in its base is steady rather than orange, keeping it in neutral territory.

Within Benjamin Moore's range, it works alongside White Dove and Grant Beige for lighter accents, pairs with Newburyport Blue or Hale Navy for cooler contrast, and complements Saybrook Sage in spaces that favor an earthy, warm-toned scheme.
