What color is Benjamin Moore Golden Vista?
Benjamin Moore Golden Vista 308 is a clear, sun-warmed golden orange with a distinctly earthy cast. Its medium-light depth keeps it bright enough for a kitchen, breakfast nook, or entry, while the orange-gold saturation gives it more presence than a pale yellow. In direct daylight, Golden Vista reads lively and honeyed; under warm bulbs, it can take on a richer amber tone. Pair it with creamy off-whites, muted olive greens, terracotta, or dark wood for a grounded palette. It is especially effective on an accent wall, painted furniture, or cabinetry where its concentrated color can be appreciated up close.

LRV of Golden Vista
Golden Vista has an LRV of 40.18% 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 40.18%, 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.
