What color is Benjamin Moore Old Gold?
Benjamin Moore Old Gold 167 is a warm, medium-light golden ochre with a softened amber cast. Its #E1A863 color value gives it clear yellow-orange warmth without reading as a bright primary yellow. In sunlit rooms, Old Gold can appear lighter and more honeyed, while lower or cooler light brings out its deeper toasted-gold character. It has enough presence for a dining room, entry, or powder room wall, and it also makes a strong choice for painted cabinetry or a focal alcove. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, warm browns, or aged brass for a grounded palette that supports its earthy glow.

LRV of Old Gold
Old Gold has an LRV of 42.78% 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 42.78%, 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.
