Valspar

Honey Moon

8003-22A

Honey Moon is a bright creamy neutral with a soft golden base. It has warmth without heaviness. Darker hallways and bedrooms can take it when warm stone is part of the room.

The high value helps it bounce light, but the undertone prevents a stark effect. Cream trim blends quietly. Cleaner white trim gives definition. In strong sun, the gold may show more clearly. Sample before pairing it with cool gray floors.

Honey Moon 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.
