What color is Benjamin Moore Governor's Gold?
Benjamin Moore Governor's Gold CW-395 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a soft golden cast. Its #EFD596 value keeps it gentle rather than intensely bright, reading as a creamy gold in daylight and becoming richer under warm artificial light. It can bring welcome color to kitchens, breakfast rooms, hallways, or a front door without making the surface feel overly saturated. Pair Governor's Gold with warm white trim, honey-toned wood, aged brass, or muted blue-green accents for contrast. On larger walls, this shade benefits from plenty of natural light and grounding neutrals in upholstery or flooring.

LRV of Governor's Gold
Governor's Gold has an LRV of 65.87% 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 65.87%, 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.
