What color is Benjamin Moore Mystic Gold?
Benjamin Moore Mystic Gold HC-37 is a muted golden-brown with a gently weathered, earthy cast. Its medium depth keeps the color grounded, while the soft ochre warmth prevents it from reading as a plain tan. In bright natural light, Mystic Gold can show more of its golden beige side; under evening lighting, it settles into a deeper caramel-brown. It suits dining rooms, libraries, entryways, or cabinetry where a warm, substantial color feels appropriate. Pair it with creamy off-whites, dark walnut, aged brass, terracotta textiles, or deep olive accents for a layered, material-focused interior.

LRV of Mystic Gold
Mystic Gold has an LRV of 26.68% 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 26.68%, 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.
