What color is Benjamin Moore Fairmont Gold?
Benjamin Moore Fairmont Gold 1071 is a muted mid-tone golden brown with a clear earthy warmth. Its blend of ochre, tan, and soft clay-like notes gives it more depth than a typical beige, without reading overly orange or yellow. In bright natural light, the color can appear lighter and more honeyed, while lower light brings out its grounded brown cast. It is well suited to dining rooms, libraries, entryways, or cabinetry where a warm, substantial color feels appropriate. Pair Fairmont Gold with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, aged brass, walnut wood, and natural linen for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Fairmont Gold
Fairmont Gold has an LRV of 24.4% 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 24.4%, 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.
