What color is Benjamin Moore Bryant Gold?
Benjamin Moore Bryant Gold HC-7 is a warm, mid-tone golden ochre with a softly muted, earthy cast. Its amber-yellow base carries enough brown to keep it from reading as bright sunshine yellow, giving the color a grounded presence on walls. In strong daylight, Bryant Gold can look clearer and more honeyed, while lower or warmer evening light brings out its richer ochre depth. It suits dining rooms, entryways, and kitchens where a full-bodied wall color feels appropriate, and it can also make a characterful cabinet or interior door finish. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural woods such as oak or walnut for a layered, material-focused palette.

LRV of Bryant Gold
Bryant Gold has an LRV of 40.47% 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 40.47%, 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.
