Honey Burst

144

Honey Burst is a creamy orange with pronounced amber undertones that create a warm, saturated appearance. With an LRV of 64.39, this color reflects a substantial amount of light while maintaining its distinctive orange character. The amber base makes it suitable for kitchens and dining areas where warmth is desired.

This shade coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Sand for a softer pairing, Hale Navy for contrast, Hawthorne Yellow for tonal harmony, Barely Beige for a neutral backdrop, and Pale Avocado when a green accent is needed.
