What color is Benjamin Moore Wythe Gold?
Benjamin Moore Wythe Gold CW-420 is a muted golden tan with a soft ochre cast, sitting comfortably between beige and aged yellow. Its medium-light value keeps the color bright enough for walls while its dusty finish prevents it from reading overly sunny or sharp. In warm daylight, Wythe Gold can lean richer and more honeyed; under cooler artificial light, it may appear quieter and more khaki-beige. It suits dining rooms, hallways, and studies where a grounded warm neutral is wanted without relying on cream. Pair it with off-white trim, medium walnut, worn brass, olive textiles, or deep charcoal accents for contrast.

LRV of Wythe Gold
Wythe Gold has an LRV of 50.17% 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 50.17%, 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.
