Benjamin Moore

Renaissance Gold

280

Renaissance Gold is a brownish-gold with ochre undertones and an LRV of 28.48, situating it in the medium-low reflectance range. The yellow-brown base is muted enough to avoid reading as overtly bright, instead producing a warm, grounded tone reminiscent of natural clay pigments. It shifts slightly warmer under incandescent lighting.

White Dove and Muslin provide clean lighter-value pairings for trim and ceilings. For deeper contrast, Hale Navy and Newburg Green work as accent colors, while Summerdale Gold and Chestertown Buff extend the warm analogous range.

Renaissance 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.
