About Fairmont Gold
Fairmont Gold (1071) is a deep, medium-strength beige from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 24, Fairmont Gold absorbs more light than it reflects, so it works best in rooms with good natural light or where you want a cozier feel.
In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Fairmont Gold's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for bedrooms, offices, accent walls and kitchen cabinets. Next to Dark Mustard (2161-30), it's cooler and more muted.
How Fairmont Gold changes with the light
Fairmont Gold has a strong warm undertone that balances cool north light well. In strong south or west sun it can look more golden, so check a sample at midday and in the late afternoon.
North-facing rooms

South-facing rooms
In strong south light Fairmont Gold can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.
West-facing rooms
