About Honey Harbor

Honey Harbor (CC-170) is a light beige from Benjamin Moore with a warm yellow undertone. With an LRV of 78, Honey Harbor reflects most of the light that hits it, which helps small or dim rooms feel larger.

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Honey Harbor's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Rich Cream (2153-60); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.

How Honey Harbor changes with the light

Honey Harbor is a warm white, so it stays soft rather than gray in north-facing rooms and looks creamier in strong south or west sun.

N

North-facing rooms

Honey Harbor's warm undertone keeps it soft rather than gray in north light, which makes it a good white for north rooms.

E

East-facing rooms

Honey Harbor will look warmer and brighter in the morning and cooler and grayer by afternoon; check a sample at both times.

S

South-facing rooms

In strong south light Honey Harbor can turn noticeably more yellow or orange; test a sample at midday.

W

West-facing rooms

Honey Harbor will glow warmer in the late afternoon, so check it at sunset if you want to avoid a strong yellow cast.
