What color is Benjamin Moore Honeybee?
Benjamin Moore Honeybee CSP-950 is a light, sun-warmed yellow with a creamy, muted cast rather than a sharp citrus edge. Its #EFD99A color value gives it a soft golden-beige undertone that keeps the shade gentle and easy on the eye. In bright daylight, Honeybee can read as a clear pale yellow, while lower or warmer light brings out its buttery, candlelit quality. It suits kitchen walls, breakfast nooks, children’s rooms, or a cheerful interior door, especially alongside warm white trim, natural oak, rattan, and linen. Pair it with dusty blue, muted sage, or deeper ochre accents for contrast without making the yellow feel overly sweet.

LRV of Honeybee
Honeybee has an LRV of 67.02% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
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 67.02%, 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.
