Benjamin Moore

Richmond Gold

HC-41 / 1118

Richmond Gold is a warm caramel brown with distinct orange undertones, registering an LRV of 30.5, which places it in the medium-depth range suitable for accent walls or full-room applications in moderately lit spaces. The hue leans amber rather than yellow, giving it a grounded, earthy weight. It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove for strong tonal contrast, Shaker Beige for a close neutral bridge, Hale Navy for a deep complementary pairing, Saybrook Sage for an analogous green accent, and Audubon Russet for a warm monochromatic extension.
