What color is Benjamin Moore Hathaway Gold?

Benjamin Moore Hathaway Gold 194 is a warm, mid-tone golden tan with a softened ochre cast rather than a bright yellow finish. Its muted saturation gives it enough color for a dining room, entry, or sunlit kitchen without making the walls feel overly intense. In direct daylight, Hathaway Gold reads clearer and more honeyed, while lower or north-facing light can bring out its earthy brown-beige side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, or charcoal accents for contrast, and use natural oak, walnut, aged brass, or woven textures to reinforce its grounded warmth. This shade is especially effective on walls and built-in cabinetry where its golden depth can be seen across a larger surface.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

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 43.66%, 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.
