What color is Benjamin Moore Monarch Gold?
Benjamin Moore Monarch Gold 1109 is a light, warm beige with a noticeable peachy-gold cast. Its pale depth keeps it airy on broad walls, while the soft warmth prevents it from reading stark or gray. In bright daylight, this shade can look creamy and sun-washed; lower or warmer lighting brings forward its muted apricot undertone. Try it in dining rooms, bedrooms, or hallways alongside off-white trim, medium oak, woven natural fibers, and aged brass. Deep olive, dusty blue, and warm charcoal accents give Monarch Gold a grounded contrast without fighting its warmth.

LRV of Monarch Gold
Monarch Gold has an LRV of 59.72% and refers to Light colors that reflect most 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 59.72%, 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.
