In real rooms
Every room, each colorThe difference
Read from the numbersHoney Hut is the lighter of the two at LRV 61.51, 51.5 points above Cherry Cola at LRV 10. Both read warm. Cherry Cola is a red, Honey Hut a pink. For a whole room, Honey Hut is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Cherry Cola is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsCherry Cola is a deep reddish brown from Dunn-Edwards' Perfect Palette accents — the color of the drink held up to the light, with burnt sienna underneath. At LRV 10 it is dark, saturated and enormously flattering to books, brass and patterned fabric.
Honey Hut is a pale dusty pink with enough grey-beige in it to stay sophisticated. At LRV 62 it is light and airy, but it is unmistakably pink — more so than Bride to Be, less so than Pink Cloud. It has the softness of a powder puff and none of the sugar.
