What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Retriever?
Benjamin Moore Golden Retriever 2165-30 is a medium, golden brown with a clear ochre cast and earthy warmth. Its muted saturation keeps the color grounded rather than bright, giving walls a sun-baked, clay-like presence. In direct daylight, the golden notes become more pronounced; under warmer lamps, it can read deeper and more caramel brown. Golden Retriever suits dining rooms, kitchens, mudrooms, or a den where a richer wall color feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, natural oak, woven fibers, and aged brass for a layered, material-focused look.

LRV of Golden Retriever
Golden Retriever has an LRV of 29.42% 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 29.42%, 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.
