Valspar

Honey Bronze

M115

Honey Bronze reads as medium warm orange-brown with a soft bronze cast. The bronze-orange base can make an island or door feel sunny and substantial. An island base or front door can feel grounded and sunny in this shade.

On all walls, it needs restraint because the orange undertone grows stronger at scale. Pair with plaster white or muted green. Black hardware gives it a cleaner line. If nearby wood already reads honey, test carefully before repeating the same note.

Honey Bronze in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
