What color is Benjamin Moore Grecian Gold?
Benjamin Moore Grecian Gold 224 is a muted golden ochre with an earthy brown cast that keeps it grounded rather than bright. Its medium depth gives walls noticeable color while still feeling softer than a saturated mustard. In warm daylight, this shade can read more honeyed and golden; under cooler or dimmer light, its brown undertone becomes more apparent. It suits dining rooms, studies, entryways, or painted cabinetry paired with warm white trim, deep olive accents, and natural oak or walnut. Brass hardware, aged leather, and linen in cream or flax complement its restrained, antique-gold character.

LRV of Grecian Gold
Grecian Gold has an LRV of 22.66% and refers to Medium 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 22.66%, 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.
