Reading
LRV is how much light a color reflects, from 0 for black to 100 for pure white.
At LRV 49 it returns about half the light that falls on it. That is enough to show its color across a full wall without darkening the room, which is why most whole-room interiors fall in this range.
Aura Interior and Regal Select Interior cover the interior work. Benjamin Moore does not recommend it for exterior use.
It does not wash out in bright Arizona light. Use it for a whole room, a cabinet body, or interior trim against deeper walls.
Matte or eggshell on walls; satin holds up better on doors and high-touch trim.

Benjamin Moore does not recommend 286 for exterior use, so only the interior lines are listed. Tinted while you wait at the counter. Ask for a quote and we’ll call back with the price and have it mixed for pickup; sample pints are mixed the same way.

Questions
Will it look like this on my wall?
Not exactly. Screens vary, and paint shifts with the light in the room. Before you commit, put a sample on the wall for a full day. See it in morning light, afternoon light and lamplight before the gallons are tinted.
Is it approved for my HOA?
It depends on your community. Search your HOA to see its approved palette, then bring the scheme in and we will tell you how Luxurious Gold compares. Committees approve the color. The brand on the can is not part of the approval, so Benjamin Moore is fine as long as the color matches the approved sheet.
Which line for a west-facing exterior?
Benjamin Moore’s own guidance is that 286 is not an exterior color, so we would not put it on a west wall in any line. Bring a photo of the wall to the counter and we will find the closest color that is rated for it.
Can you match it in another brand?
We tint Benjamin Moore. 286 is a Benjamin Moore formula, so nothing is approximated; it is mixed exactly as published. If you have a Dunn‑Edwards code, Benjamin Moore already has that formula too. For a chip or a lid with no code, bring it in. We will read it and tell you how close we can get.
