Read from the numbersHoney Hut is the lighter of the two at LRV 61.51, 21.5 points above Monet at LRV 39.98. Both read warm. Both belong to the pinks family. For a whole room, Honey Hut is the safer, more forgiving choice thanks to its higher LRV, while Monet is the bolder pick.
How they read
In their own wordsMonet is a dusty, mauve-leaning pink with a beige base — a rose that has softened into something closer to lilac. At LRV 40 it is a real mid-tone, dark enough to feel enveloping in a small room and light enough to keep a powder room from going gloomy.
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.
