Our zero VOC, GREENGUARD Gold certified Wall Paint and Trim Paint is 100% acrylic, self-priming, applies easily, covers in fewer coats and dries to a durable, mildew-resistant finish that washes with ease.

Good as Gold is a mellow, subdued mustard gold with a warmth that settles a room rather than energizing it. The warm undertone keeps the color rich and earthy, sitting comfortably between true yellow and golden-neutral territory, so it reads grounded and sophisticated rather than bright or cheerful. One reviewer called it "the perfect mix between mustard and gold," which is exactly the balance it strikes.

At an LRV of 37, Good as Gold reads as a genuine medium-deep color that absorbs light and creates a cozy, enveloping atmosphere. In well-lit rooms, the warm mustard comes forward with a honeyed glow. In lower-light spaces, it reads deeper and richer, so sampling on the actual wall matters more here than with lighter shades. A kitchen reviewer captured the effect directly: the color struck just the right balance of warmth, and a visitor described the space as cozy.

The warm base pairs naturally with creamy whites, natural wood, warm metals, and earthy neutrals for a layered, inviting palette. Good as Gold works beautifully in kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, and accent walls where a warm, grounded richness is the goal. For trim, Timeless keeps the palette cohesive and warm; Snow Day provides a crisper contrast. Like Buttah or Neutral Territory round out the palette as complementary warm neutrals.

Best for: Kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, entryways, accent walls

Pairs best with: Timeless (off-white trim), Snow Day (crisp white contrast), Like Buttah (warm cream), Neutral Territory (sandy beige)

Color family: Yellow (mustard)

Undertone detail: Warm; keeps the yellow mellow and earthy rather than bright, golden, or saturated

LRV interpretation: 37, a medium-deep value that absorbs light and creates cozy, enveloping warmth. Best in well-lit rooms, or lean into the depth for a grounded, moody feel

Lighting guidance: Natural daylight: honeyed and warm. Low or warm light: reads deeper and richer

Finish recommendation: Eggshell for walls; Semi-Gloss for trim, doors, and cabinets for clean, dimensional contrast

Complementary Clare colors: Timeless, Snow Day, Like Buttah, Neutral Territory, Golden Hour

FAQs

How does Good as Gold look in natural light vs. artificial light?

Good as Gold shifts noticeably between natural and artificial light. In bright, natural daylight, the warm undertone comes forward and the mustard reads honeyed and alive. Under warm incandescent or LED lighting in the evening, the color deepens and reads richer and moodier. Because this is a medium-deep color, it absorbs more light than a soft neutral, so sampling in the actual space before committing to a full gallon is always recommended. Clare offers peel-and-stick swatches to make it easy.

How does Good as Gold compare to other similar Clare shades?

For shades adjacent to Good as Gold, consider Golden Hour, which reads brighter and more saturated with a truer golden warmth, or Lemonade, which goes lighter and fresher with a citrusy energy. For something that tilts toward warm neutral territory, Like Buttah reads buttery and creamy while staying close in warmth. Clare's peel-and-stick swatches make it easy to compare these warm tones side by side in your space before committing.

What is the best way to choose between similar paint colors?

Sampling in the actual room is the single most reliable way to choose between similar colors. Paint colors shift depending on the room's light exposure, ceiling height, furnishings, and flooring. Clare's peel-and-stick swatches allow direct comparison of multiple colors on the wall without the mess of traditional paint samples. Observe each swatch at different times of day and under both natural and artificial light before making a final decision.

What does LRV mean, and how does it affect paint color selection?

LRV stands for Light Reflectance Value. It measures how much light a paint color reflects on a scale from 0 (absolute black, absorbs all light) to 100 (pure white, reflects all light). Colors with higher LRV values make rooms feel brighter and more open; colors with lower LRV values feel richer and more dramatic. As a general guideline, LRV 50 and above works well in most rooms and lighting conditions. For rooms with limited natural light, prioritizing colors with LRV 55 or higher helps maintain a bright, welcoming feel.

Can I use wall paint on trim and cabinets?

Clare offers both wall paint (eggshell) and trim paint (semi-gloss) for each color, making it easy to use the same color throughout a space with the right finish for each surface. Using wall paint on trim or cabinets reduces durability; semi-gloss is the recommended choice for any surface that sees frequent contact or cleaning.

Used on our floor and it turned out great!!

Clare doesn’t advertise their paint as being up to foot traffic, but with a dog and a baby that just started crawling, I was looking for a non toxic paint option to repaint our floor that wasn’t full of bad chemicals, and smelly. We decided to go with Good as Gold in the trim option, with speckles of current mood to cover stains. It has been, AMAZING. No smell, Easy one coat application, and so far has held up to having furniture and high chairs dragged around on it without ANY scratches! I am seriously impressed and will be ordering from Clare for any future painting projects.

The perfect hue

I absolutely love this color! I painted my kitchen with it and the tone is better than I could have expected. It strikes just the right balance of warmth. A friend over recently said “your kitchen is so cozy”. Also super easy to use with minimal smells! I love Clare products.
