What color is Benjamin Moore Luxurious Gold?
Benjamin Moore Luxurious Gold 286 is a warm, medium-light golden yellow with a softened, slightly muted cast rather than a sharp primary-yellow look. Its #D6BD68 value suggests a mellow, sunlit color that can read more buttery in bright daylight and deeper, more ochre-toned under warm evening bulbs. Use it on a dining room wall, a painted built-in, or a front door where its golden presence can be a clear focal point. Creamy whites, warm taupes, olive greens, and dark brown wood give Luxurious Gold a grounded setting, while aged brass and natural linen reinforce its earthy warmth.

LRV of Luxurious Gold
Luxurious Gold has an LRV of 49.35% 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 49.35%, 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.
