The 69-point LRV gap — 75 for Honeypot vs 6 for Commodore — means Honeypot will open up a space more effectively. Where Commodore leans cool, Honeypot reads warm — a distinction that shifts noticeably depending on the light source and surrounding finishes.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
