Benjamin Moore

Pan for Gold

181

Pan for Gold is a deep golden amber from Benjamin Moore with warm yellow-orange undertones and an LRV of 47.63, placing it in the mid-range for light reflectance. The color carries noticeable saturation and depth, making it a strong candidate for accent walls in dining rooms or living spaces where warmth is a functional goal. It pairs well with Hale Navy for direct contrast and works alongside analogous tones like Golden Straw and Butterscotch to build a cohesive warm palette.

Swiss Coffee and Forest Floor also complement its amber base effectively.
