Benjamin Moore

Venetian Gold

2158-20

Venetian Gold (Benjamin Moore) is a warm golden amber with orange undertones that anchor it firmly on the warm side of the spectrum. With an LRV of 28.1, it sits in the medium range, reflecting enough light to register clearly on walls without appearing bright. The orange base gives it an earthy, saturated quality distinct from cooler yellows.

It works well alongside Blue Danube, Audubon Russet, White Dove, Edgecomb Gray, and Teal Ocean from Benjamin Moore, where cooler blues provide contrast and warm neutrals maintain cohesion across a palette.
