What color is Benjamin Moore Great Plains Gold?
Benjamin Moore Great Plains Gold 1077 is a muted golden tan with a softened, earthy cast rather than a bright yellow presence. Its medium-light depth gives walls noticeable color while keeping the overall look grounded and low-contrast. In bright daylight, the warm beige and ochre notes become clearer; under warmer lamps, this shade can read more like a mellow camel brown. Great Plains Gold suits living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways where natural wood, leather, linen, and woven textures are part of the palette. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal, or dark brown wood for definition, or use it on cabinetry for a warm alternative to standard beige.

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 32.56%, 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.
