Benjamin Moore

Scrivener Gold

CW-430

Scrivener Gold is a deep, warm gold rooted in yellow ochre pigment, giving it a dense, earthy character with minimal brightness. Its LRV of 36.58 places it in the mid-range, though its strong saturation can make it appear slightly darker than that number suggests. The ochre base holds steady across most lighting conditions, with warm light amplifying its richness.

Hale Navy and Hunter Green offer strong complementary contrast, while Chestertown Buff and Van Buren Brown provide analogous warmth within the same historical palette. White Dove works as a crisp trim counterpoint.
