Honey Locust

PPU6-06

Honey Locust is a bright golden yellow-orange with a warm fruit tone. It feels sunny and bold. Let it handle for a breakfast nook, laundry room, or front door where the energy suits the space.

On four walls, it can become intense quickly. Try crisp white millwork and deep green accents. Warm bulbs will push the orange side. A sample board should be checked in both morning and evening light.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
