Benjamin Moore

Millington Gold

HC-13

Millington Gold is an ochre shade defined by its deep olive undertones, which distinguish it from brighter golds or warmer yellows. With an LRV of 34.2, it falls in the medium light-reflectance range, reading as a grounded, earthy tone on walls rather than a bright metallic gold. The olive-green undertone becomes more apparent in daylight, while warm artificial light emphasizes the golden-yellow base.

Part of the Historical Color collection, it coordinates with Mountain Peak White (OC-121) and Floral White (OC-29) for trim contrast, while Carrington Beige (HC-93) and Mysterious (AF-565) build out complementary palettes.
