Benjamin Moore

Mayan Gold

175

Mayan Gold (175) is a deep, saturated yellow-orange from Benjamin Moore's Classics collection with an LRV of 40.34. The color draws from a warm amber base with brown and bronze undertones, and a trace of black pigment adds depth without dulling the golden core. It reads distinctly warm and earthy rather than bright or citrus-toned.

Within the Benjamin Moore palette, it pairs effectively with Swiss Coffee (OC-45) for a clean warm white, Flowering Herbs (514) for a green complement, White Blush (OC-86) for soft contrast, and Simply White (OC-117) on trim.

Mayan 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.
