What color is Benjamin Moore Millington Gold?
Benjamin Moore Millington Gold HC-13 is a muted golden ochre with an earthy brown cast that keeps it from reading overly bright. Its mid-depth color feels warm and grounded, making it a strong option for dining rooms, studies, entryways, or a sunlit kitchen. In direct daylight, the golden aspect becomes clearer, while lower or warmer light can bring out its deeper, more subdued brown side. Pair it with creamy off-whites, charcoal, deep olive, or warm wood furniture for a layered palette. Millington Gold also has enough presence for cabinetry, an accent wall, or a front door when a richer alternative to standard beige is wanted.

LRV of Millington Gold
Millington Gold has an LRV of 34.2% 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 34.2%, 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.
