What color is Benjamin Moore Jamesboro Gold?
Benjamin Moore Jamesboro Gold HC-88 is a muted, medium-depth golden brown with a softly weathered look. Its #978466 value reads warm without becoming bright, showing a blend of ochre-gold and subdued taupe-brown notes. In strong daylight, the gold aspect is more noticeable; lower or warmer light brings out its earthier brown cast. It suits dining rooms, libraries, entryways, and exterior trim where a grounded color has more presence than a standard beige. Pair Jamesboro Gold with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, charcoal accents, and natural oak, walnut, or aged brass finishes.

LRV of Jamesboro Gold
Jamesboro Gold has an LRV of 24.43% 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 24.43%, 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.
