What color is Benjamin Moore Honey Burst?

Benjamin Moore Honey Burst 144 is a light, sun-warmed golden yellow with a soft apricot cast. Its high brightness keeps the color airy, while the noticeable yellow-orange saturation gives it more presence than a cream or pale beige. In direct daylight, Honey Burst can read as a clear buttery gold; under warm evening bulbs, it shifts toward a deeper honeyed peach. It suits kitchens, breakfast nooks, and cheerful entryways, especially alongside off-white trim, natural oak, woven cane, and matte brass. Use it on full walls for a bright wash of warmth, or on an accent wall or painted furniture piece where its sunny tone can stand out.

Light Reflectance Value scale illustration

Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).

Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 64.39%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
