Benjamin Moore

Medieval Gold

2152-10

Medieval Gold is a deep golden bronze with strong yellow-orange undertones and a muted, earthy warmth. With an LRV of 25.41, it sits in the lower-mid range of light reflectance, making it a color that reads as rich and saturated without darkening a room entirely. Brown undertones keep it from appearing overly bright, grounding it closer to raw amber than to pure gold.

It pairs effectively with Benjamin Moore Mayonnaise (2152-70) for a tonal scheme, Swiss Coffee (OC-45) for a clean backdrop, Monroe Bisque (HC-26) for warmth, and Black Knight (2136-10) for contrast.
