What color is Benjamin Moore Goldfinch?
Benjamin Moore Goldfinch 187 is a light, muted golden yellow with a noticeable beige cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its warm, softly browned undertone gives walls the look of sun-faded ochre or natural straw rather than a clean lemon yellow. In strong daylight, Goldfinch can appear clearer and more golden, while lower or warmer light brings forward its sandy, tan side. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, and small sitting areas where a gentle dose of color is wanted without a high-saturation finish. Pair it with creamy off-whites, medium wood tones, aged brass, terracotta, or deep olive accents for a grounded palette.

LRV of Goldfinch
Goldfinch has an LRV of 55.98% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 55.98%, 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.
