About Gold Mine
Gold Mine (2155-20) is a deep, bold yellow from Benjamin Moore that leans peach. With an LRV of 36, Gold Mine 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 Gold Mine's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for kitchens, breakfast nooks, sunrooms and entryways. Next to Desert Sunset (2155-10), it's lighter.
How Gold Mine changes with the light
Gold Mine 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
