What color is Benjamin Moore Hollywood Gold?
Benjamin Moore Hollywood Gold 279 is a warm, mid-tone golden yellow with a muted brown cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its sun-baked character is especially effective in dining rooms, entryways, and breakfast nooks where a richer wall color can add definition. In direct daylight, Hollywood Gold shows more of its yellow-gold side, while evening light can bring forward its deeper, ochre-like warmth. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark walnut, aged brass, and olive-toned textiles for a grounded palette. It can also make a memorable choice for cabinetry or a single accent wall when surrounded by quieter neutrals.

LRV of Hollywood Gold
Hollywood Gold has an LRV of 40.45% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 40.45%, 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.
