What color is Benjamin Moore Stuart Gold?
Benjamin Moore Stuart Gold HC-10 is a warm, mid-tone golden yellow with a gently muted, earthy cast. Its #DEB866 color value suggests soft ochre and honey notes rather than a sharp, citrusy yellow. In daylight, Stuart Gold can read bright and sunlit, while lower or warmer lighting may bring out its deeper golden-beige side. It suits dining rooms, kitchens, entryways, and powder rooms where a grounded yellow can add noticeable color without feeling neon. Pair it with creamy off-whites, warm wood cabinetry, aged brass, terracotta tile, or deep olive accents for a layered, natural-looking palette.

LRV of Stuart Gold
Stuart Gold has an LRV of 47.74% 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 47.74%, 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.
