What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Tan?
Benjamin Moore Golden Tan 2152-40 is a light, muted golden beige with a clear warm cast. Its soft yellow-brown base keeps it brighter than a traditional camel or deeper tan, especially in daylight. On living room or dining room walls, it can bring gentle color without making the room feel heavily saturated. Pair Golden Tan with creamy whites, medium warm woods, woven natural fibers, and charcoal or deep olive accents for contrast. In lower light, this shade may read a little richer and more honeyed, making it particularly well suited to spaces with warm bulbs or afternoon sun.

LRV of Golden Tan
Golden Tan has an LRV of 54.33% 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 54.33%, 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.
