What color is Benjamin Moore Scrivener Gold?
Benjamin Moore Scrivener Gold CW-430 is a muted golden tan with a softly earthy cast. Its #B79F6D color value reads warm and mid-toned, showing a blend of ochre-gold and subdued beige rather than a bright yellow. In sunlit rooms, it can appear more honeyed, while lower or cooler light may bring out its quieter khaki-brown side. This shade suits dining rooms, studies, and hallways where a grounded wall color can add warmth without becoming overly saturated. Pair it with creamy off-whites, deep brown wood, aged brass, and muted olive or charcoal accents.

LRV of Scrivener Gold
Scrivener Gold has an LRV of 36.58% 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 36.58%, 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.
