What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Delicious?

Benjamin Moore Golden Delicious 390 is a muted golden yellow with a soft olive-khaki undertone that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its medium-light depth gives walls a warm, sun-washed appearance, especially in rooms with natural afternoon light. In cooler or shaded spaces, Golden Delicious can look more earthy and subdued, with its greenish cast becoming slightly more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, mudrooms, and built-in cabinetry where a grounded yellow feels more appropriate than a clear buttercup shade. Pair it with warm white trim, natural oak, aged brass, terracotta, or deep olive accents for a layered, organic palette.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 56.34%, 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.
