What color is Benjamin Moore Bright Gold?
Benjamin Moore Bright Gold 371 is a softened golden yellow with a noticeable earthy, olive-leaning cast that keeps it from reading like a pure sunshine hue. Its medium depth and muted saturation give it a grounded look, especially beside crisp white trim or warm natural oak. In bright daylight, Bright Gold can appear clearer and more yellow, while lower or warmer light brings out its mossy, antique-gold side. It has enough presence for a breakfast nook, mudroom, or painted cabinet front, and can also make a focused accent wall in a room with otherwise quiet finishes. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, charcoal, or dusty blue-gray for contrast.
LRV of Bright Gold
Bright Gold has an LRV of 47.05% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 47.05%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
