About Golden Gate
Golden Gate (033) is a deep, bold red from Benjamin Moore that leans pink. With an LRV of 28, Golden Gate 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 Golden Gate's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for dining rooms, accent walls, front doors and libraries. Next to Tropical Fruit (CSP-1115), it's darker and warmer.
