What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Nugget?
Benjamin Moore Golden Nugget 2019-20 is a saturated golden yellow with a clear warm, orange-leaning cast. Its high-chroma color makes a confident statement on an entry door, kitchen island, painted furniture, or a single accent wall. In bright daylight, it reads as crisp and sunny, while warmer indoor lighting brings out a richer amber quality. Pair Golden Nugget with warm white trim, charcoal gray, deep navy, or natural walnut for contrast that keeps the yellow grounded. It is best used where a concentrated burst of color is welcome rather than across every wall in a room.

LRV of Golden Nugget
Golden Nugget has an LRV of 50.37% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half of the incident 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 50.37%, 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.
