What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Bounty?
Benjamin Moore Golden Bounty 294 is a warm, medium golden yellow with an earthy ochre cast rather than a bright, citrusy look. Its muted depth gives it enough weight for a dining room, kitchen, or sunlit hallway, where it can read as a grounded golden tone. In strong daylight, the yellow becomes clearer and more cheerful; lower or warmer light brings forward its deeper honey-brown character. Pair Golden Bounty with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, or charcoal accents for contrast. Natural oak, aged brass, leather, and terracotta materials suit this shade particularly well.

LRV of Golden Bounty
Golden Bounty has an LRV of 39.52% 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 39.52%, 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.
