Benjamin Moore

Honeybell

145

Honeybell is a marigold shade that blends yellow and orange, resulting in a warm, saturated hue. The LRV of 54.73 places it in a moderate range for light reflectance, making it suitable for living rooms, kitchens, or children's rooms where a distinct color presence is acceptable. The orange undertones are evident, giving it more depth than a pure yellow.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore Hale Navy and Forest Moss for contrast, Golden Straw and Autumn Cover for warm tonal pairings, and Ballet White for a clean neutral balance.
