Benjamin Moore

Oxford Gold

315

Oxford Gold by Benjamin Moore is a high-saturation yellow-orange with near-fluorescent intensity that reads warm and energetic on surfaces. It registers a light reflectance value of 55.21, placing it in the mid-range for brightness, delivering strong color presence without significantly darkening a room. The hue leans toward golden amber with orange undertones that become more pronounced under warm lighting.

It suits kitchens, dining areas, or accent walls where a concentrated warm tone is desired. Oxford Gold works alongside Benjamin Moore's Simply White, Classic Gray, Hale Navy, Kendall Charcoal, and Golden Straw.
