What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Cherry?
Benjamin Moore Golden Cherry 069 is a warm, mid-tone orange with a softened peach-coral cast rather than a deep red-brown look. Its rosy orange base gives walls noticeable color while the muted quality keeps it from reading overly bright. In direct afternoon sun, Golden Cherry can appear lighter and more apricot-toned; under warm lamps, it takes on a fuller clay-like warmth. It suits a dining room, breakfast nook, or powder room, and can also make a clear accent on built-in shelving or a painted door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, pale sand tones, natural oak, woven cane, and aged brass for a grounded, sun-warmed palette.

LRV of Golden Cherry
Golden Cherry has an LRV of 33.34% 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 33.34%, 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.
