Moir Gold

CW-280

Moir Gold is a warm, saturated yellow with ochre undertones rooted in the mineral pigments historically used in 18th-century paints. With an LRV of 62.99, it reflects substantial light while maintaining a clearly golden, rather than pastel, appearance. The ochre base keeps it from veering into bright lemon territory, grounding it with an amber warmth.

Part of the Williamsburg Collection, this shade pairs with Windham Cream as a lighter companion and Roxbury Caramel for deeper tonal contrast. Simply White works as a crisp trim option, while Shaker Beige and Powell Buff provide warm neutral transitions.
