The difference

Read from the numbers

Honey Hut is the lighter of the two at LRV 61.51, 28.2 points above Creekbed at LRV 33.34. Both read warm. Honey Hut is a pinks, Creekbed a neutrals. For a whole room, Honey Hut is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Creekbed is the bolder pick.

How they read

In their own words

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.

Creekbed is a true taupe — grey and brown balanced so evenly that it reads as neither, with a faint pink warmth underneath. At LRV 33 it is a mid-tone, dark enough to feel like a color and light enough to keep a small room from closing in. It is the shade of wet river stone.
