Benjamin Moore

Luxurious Gold

286

Luxurious Gold is a saturated golden yellow with an LRV of 49.35, placing it squarely in the mid-tone range. Warm yellow-ochre undertones dominate, with a slight earthy quality that keeps it from reading too bright or citrus-forward. In strong daylight it can appear more assertive, while lower light levels bring out its toasted, honeyed character.

It holds up well next to Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for contrast, and sits comfortably alongside Saybrook Sage or Chestertown Buff. Simply White or White Dove work well on adjacent trim.

Luxurious 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.
