Benjamin Moore

Morgan Hill Gold

189

Benjamin Moore Morgan Hill Gold (189) is a saturated, mid-tone gold with strong yellow, orange, and brown undertones that create a warm, earthy character. With an LRV of 37.51, it falls in the medium range of the reflectance scale and will read as a definite color statement rather than a neutral. The orange undertone gives it a toasted quality, while the brown grounds it and prevents it from reading as a bright yellow.

It pairs effectively with Distant Gray (OC-68) for a lighter counterbalance, Sleepy Hollow (1454) for a teal-green contrast, Sugar Cookie (OC-93) for a pale warm trim, and Caldwell Green (HC-124) for a deep traditional accent.
