Benjamin Moore Gamboge CW-285 is a light, warm golden tan with a clear yellow-orange cast. Its #E6B271 color value gives it a sun-baked appearance that reads brighter and more golden in strong daylight, while softer evening light can pull it toward a muted honey beige. It has enough color for a dining room, entry, or kitchen wall without feeling as intense as a true mustard. Gamboge pairs naturally with creamy off-whites, warm wood cabinetry, aged brass, terracotta, and deep olive accents. Use it across walls for a warm, color-forward backdrop or on a painted accent piece where its golden tone can stand out.
