What color is Benjamin Moore Fields of Gold?
Benjamin Moore Fields of Gold 203 is a rich golden ochre with a noticeably warm, earthy cast. Its medium depth and concentrated yellow-brown color give walls a grounded presence without reading as bright sunshine yellow. In daylight, it can show its clear golden character, while lower or warmer light brings forward a deeper, more muted mustard tone. Use it in a dining room, entry, or study where its saturated warmth can carry a full wall, or reserve it for built-ins and an accent wall. Fields of Gold pairs especially well with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, aged brass, terracotta, and dark olive green.

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 34.51%, 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.
