What color is Benjamin Moore Goldtone?
Benjamin Moore Goldtone OC-112 is a light, creamy yellow with a soft golden cast rather than a bright citrus edge. Its pale value keeps it airy on walls, while the warm color adds more presence than an off-white. In direct daylight, Goldtone can read as a gentle buttercream; under warm bulbs, its yellow-gold character becomes more noticeable. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, and north-facing spaces that benefit from a little visual warmth. Pair this shade with warm white trim, natural oak, woven fibers, or muted green and blue-gray accents for contrast.

LRV of Goldtone
Goldtone has an LRV of 77.47% and refers to Off‑White 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 77.47%, 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.
