A match of Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold is a warm, medium-depth gold with an earthy yellow-brown base and a soft orange cast. It reads as a muted gold rather than a bright yellow, and its midrange LRV means it has enough body to look grounded without becoming very dark.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is well suited to small parts and fixtures where a warm gold tone needs to be carried across different materials. It can be used on metal frames, vent covers, switch plates, shelf brackets, mailboxes, speaker grilles, rail hardware, lamp parts, PVC trim pieces, and other spray-friendly accessories that benefit from a coordinated finish.

Because the color has moderate chroma and mid-level lightness, it usually covers more predictably than a very vivid yellow-gold, but the first coat can still show contrast over dark, uneven, or patched substrates. Finish, film build, and surface texture can shift the way the gold reads, with glossier application often making the warmth and depth more noticeable. For exterior parts, good prep and even coverage matter because wear and weather can change how cleanly the color holds.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 194 Hathaway Gold *

Can MyPerfectColor match Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold in spray paint for plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor can make a match of Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold in spray paint for many plastic projects, but plastics vary a lot. Because adhesion can change from one plastic type to another, test the actual material before starting the full project.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. If the part is a low-energy plastic or has an unknown finish, a test panel is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before you coat the final piece.

What should I confirm before ordering Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor custom color matches are made to order, so they should be chosen carefully.

For Benjamin Moore colors, MyPerfectColor does not offer interior or exterior house paint product options in this collection. Make sure the format you choose fits your project before you place the order, because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

How do I confirm the right reference for Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold from a physical swatch, an existing known color reference, or another reliable original brand reference before you order. Do not rely on screen color alone, since monitors and phone displays can shift the appearance of the color.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the key decision is making sure 194 Hathaway Gold is the exact target you want. Once the reference is confirmed, you can order a MyPerfectColor paint match to that color in the format that fits your project.

What prep should I do before painting Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold on metal or over an existing coating?

For metal or a surface with an existing coating, clean off dirt, grease, and loose material first, then scuff the surface so the new coating can bond better. If there is rust, contamination, or flaking paint, address that before painting.

The condition of the old coating can affect the final result. Gloss, texture, and wear can all change how Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold looks after application, so a test area is a good idea when the new color will sit beside older painted sections.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon per coat, depending on the product and the surface. If the item is rough, porous, dark, or needs extra coats for full hide, plan on more material.

How do I convert Benjamin Moore 194 Hathaway Gold to a different color from another paint company?

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
