About honey
Honey sits where yellow meets caramel — golden enough to feel sunlit, brown enough to feel grounded. It carries the amber depth of its namesake, with an LRV usually in the mid range that keeps walls warm without dimming them. Reads richer under incandescent light.
Use it in libraries, hallways, and dining rooms paired with walnut furniture, oiled-bronze hardware, and ivory trim. Skip it in cool north light, where the gold can flatten. Designer alternatives: BM Roasted Sesame Seed, SW Anjou Pear, F&B India Yellow.
