What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Divan?
Benjamin Moore Golden Divan CSP-1005 is a muted golden beige with a clear earthy cast, sitting between sun-baked sand and soft ochre. Its #BCA87A color value gives it moderate depth rather than a pale, creamy look, so it has enough presence for full walls in dining rooms, hallways, or studies. The shade reads warm without becoming bright yellow, making it especially effective alongside natural oak, walnut, aged brass, and woven textures. Pair Golden Divan with chalky off-whites for contrast, or bring out its grounded quality with clay brown, olive, and charcoal accents. It can also give cabinetry or a painted accent wall a warm, collected look.

LRV of Golden Divan
Golden Divan has an LRV of 38.98% 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 38.98%, 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.
