What color is Benjamin Moore Richmond Gold?
Benjamin Moore Richmond Gold HC-41 is a muted golden tan with a clear brown base and a soft ochre cast. It reads warm without becoming bright yellow, giving walls a grounded, sun-warmed look. In direct daylight, its gold notes come forward, while lower or evening light can make it appear more like a mellow camel brown. Richmond Gold suits dining rooms, entryways, and studies, and it can bring welcome depth to cabinetry or a painted exterior door. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep olive greens, aged brass, medium wood tones, or dark charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Richmond Gold
Richmond Gold has an LRV of 30.5% 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 30.5%, 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.
