Tupelo Honey

8002-21F

Tupelo Honey lands in mid-depth golden caramel territory, richer than a standard tan. The yellow-orange base is strong. It can bring warmth to a dining room, built-in cabinet, or exterior door near stone.

With an LRV of 33, it needs decent light to avoid feeling heavy. Pair it with deep green accents, walnut, or a creamy white that can handle the honey tone.

Tupelo Honey 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.
