What color is Benjamin Moore El Sereno Gold?
Benjamin Moore El Sereno Gold 223 is a muted golden ochre with a warm, earthy cast. Its softened saturation keeps it from reading like a bright yellow, giving it enough depth for larger wall areas in dining rooms, kitchens, or sunlit hallways. In strong natural light, the gold tones appear clearer, while evening lighting can bring out its more subdued tan-brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, warm wood cabinetry, and aged brass for a layered palette. This shade can also add grounded color to a front door or built-in cabinetry without becoming overly bold.

LRV of El Sereno Gold
El Sereno Gold has an LRV of 32.61% and refers to Medium colors that reflect a lot of 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 32.61%, 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.
