Benjamin Moore

Honeycomb

1120

Honeycomb is a deep honey brown with orange undertones that create a rich, saturated appearance. With an LRV of 15, this is a darker color that absorbs significant light, making it appropriate for dens, libraries, or dining rooms where a more enclosed atmosphere is suitable. The orange influence adds warmth to the brown base.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Revere Pewter provide necessary contrast against its depth, while Lenox Tan and Audubon Russet offer analogous earthy tones that complement its warm character.
