What color is Benjamin Moore Gettysburgh Gold?
Benjamin Moore Gettysburgh Gold 1064 is a mid-depth golden brown with a muted, earthy cast. Its ochre warmth is softened by a slightly weathered quality, keeping it from reading as bright yellow or orange. In direct sun, the gold notes become more apparent, while lower or cooler light can bring out its brown, almost clay-like side. It suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, and cabinetry where a grounded color can add presence without becoming too dark. Pair Gettysburgh Gold with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, warm wood, aged brass, or blackened iron for a layered, natural-looking finish.

LRV of Gettysburgh Gold
Gettysburgh Gold has an LRV of 18.52% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little 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 18.52%, 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.
