What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Bark?
Benjamin Moore Golden Bark 2153-10 is a deep, earthy golden brown with pronounced ochre and mustard undertones. Its medium-dark value gives it enough weight for cabinetry, a dining room, or a grounded accent wall. In bright daylight, the yellow-gold side of the color becomes more noticeable, while lower light lets its brown base read richer and more subdued. Pair Golden Bark with warm cream, soft black, clay red, or muted olive for a layered, natural-looking palette. It also sits comfortably beside walnut, aged brass, woven grasses, and terracotta tile.

LRV of Golden Bark
Golden Bark has an LRV of 18.99% 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 18.99%, 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.
