What color is Benjamin Moore Gibson Gold?
Benjamin Moore Gibson Gold 378 is a warm, earthy golden yellow with a softened ochre cast rather than a bright, citrusy look. Its medium depth gives it enough presence for walls in dining rooms, kitchens, or sunlit living areas, where it can read as richer and more golden through the day. In lower light, this color is likely to settle into a muted mustard tone, making it especially effective when balanced with creamy whites or warm off-whites. Gibson Gold also suits cabinetry, a painted island, or an accent wall alongside natural oak, aged brass, terracotta, and dark brown wood. For contrast, pair it with deep charcoal, olive-leaning greens, or a restrained navy.

LRV of Gibson Gold
Gibson Gold has an LRV of 37.39% 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 37.39%, 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.
