What color is Benjamin Moore Morgan Hill Gold?
Benjamin Moore Morgan Hill Gold 189 is a warm, mid-tone golden ochre with a softly muted, earthy cast. Its #D0A05B color value reads as sun-baked gold rather than bright yellow, giving walls noticeable warmth without an overly saturated look. In strong daylight, it can appear clearer and more golden, while evening light tends to bring out its deeper honey and caramel qualities. Use it in dining rooms, kitchens, entryways, or on a painted cabinet or interior door where its color can stand on its own. Morgan Hill Gold pairs well with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, aged brass, terracotta accents, and muted olive green.

LRV of Morgan Hill Gold
Morgan Hill Gold has an LRV of 37.51% 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 37.51%, 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.
