What color is Benjamin Moore Honeybell?
Benjamin Moore Honeybell 145 is a light, sun-warmed orange with a clear peach-gold cast. Its high brightness keeps the color buoyant rather than heavy, while the saturated warmth gives it more presence than a typical cream or pale beige. In daylight, Honeybell can read like soft apricot; under warmer bulbs, its orange and honeyed notes become more pronounced. It suits breakfast rooms, playful powder rooms, children’s spaces, or an accent wall where a cheerful, color-forward finish is wanted. Pair it with crisp white trim, pale wood, natural rattan, or muted blue-green accents for contrast.

LRV of Honeybell
Honeybell has an LRV of 54.73% and refers to Light Medium colors that reflect half 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 54.73%, 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.
