Benjamin Moore

Honeybee

CSP-950

Honeybee is a soft yellow with warm undertones that read clearly but remain subdued. At an LRV of 67.02, this color reflects light effectively, contributing brightness to kitchens, dining areas, and nurseries. The yellow is tempered enough to avoid intensity while still providing noticeable warmth.

Benjamin Moore White Dove complements it with a soft neutral, Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer strong contrast, Guilford Green introduces a muted green pairing, and Autumn Cover provides an analogous orange-yellow connection.
