Golden Lab

Golden Lab is a Yellow paint color from Benjamin Moore, but its character reaches beyond a single label. It appears in Benjamin Moore Classics® Color Collection, placing it within several distinct decorating stories rather than a single fixed look. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
