Benjamin Moore

Old Gold

167

Old Gold from Benjamin Moore is a medium-depth burnished gold with warm orange undertones and a Light Reflectance Value of 42.78. It reads as a rich, saturated neutral that works well in living rooms, dining areas, and home offices where warm ambient light is present. Its orange base pairs naturally with analogous warm neutrals like Muslin and Lenox Tan.

For contrast, darker shades such as Hale Navy or Salamander provide grounding, while White Dove serves as a clean, complementary trim color.

Old 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.
