Benjamin Moore

Mystic Gold

HC-37 / 1048

Mystic Gold is an earthy bronze defined by deep honey tones that give it more weight than a standard gold or tan. Its LRV of 26.68 places it in the lower-mid range, meaning it absorbs more light than it reflects and will read noticeably darker on the wall than it appears on a swatch. The warm brown base holds steady across lighting conditions.

White Dove or Edgecomb Gray provide lighter counterpoints, while Hale Navy or Hunter Green offer strong cool contrast. Analogous tones like Lenox Tan or Monroe Bisque extend the warmth across a coordinated scheme.

Mystic 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.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
