What color is Dulux Honeysuckle?
Dulux Honeysuckle is a light, creamy beige with soft peach and muted yellow undertones. Its high lightness keeps it airy on broad walls, while the warm cast prevents it from reading as stark white. In bright daylight, Honeysuckle can appear closer to a pale biscuit cream; under warmer evening bulbs, its gentle apricot-beige character becomes more noticeable. It suits living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways where a quiet warm neutral is wanted, and can also soften cabinetry or trim. Pair it with chalky whites, natural oak, woven linen, terracotta accents, or deep olive for contrast.

LRV of Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle has an LRV of 77% and refers to Off‑White colors that reflect a lot of 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 77%, 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.
