Benjamin Moore

Milk and Honey

AF-210

Milk and Honey is a warm apricot with orange and yellow-pink undertones that keep it grounded in the earthy spectrum rather than veering into peach or coral territory. With an LRV of 40.61, it occupies the lower-mid range of light reflectance, offering enough warmth and saturation to function as a standalone wall color. The orange undertone intensifies under warm artificial light.

Part of Benjamin Moore's Affinity collection, it coordinates with Lychee (AF-40) and Ylang Ylang (AF-305) for tonal harmony, while Sparrow (AF-720) and Abbey Brown (1225) provide deeper grounding contrast.

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.
