Honey Sand

In the Microcement range, Honey Sand reads as rich honey-tan, built on the kind of warmth that makes evenings feel right and amber pigment. Sits naturally next to clay tile, untreated leather and warm earthy textiles. On site, Honey Sand ends up most often in scullery and pantry walls, with sun-flooded south-facing rooms a close second. Soft enough to be a backdrop, defined enough to be a choice. Owes a small debt to Mediterranean, but doesn't ask the rest of the room to follow.

FAQs about Honey Sand

Questions clients ask about this shade

Does Honey Sand hold up in north-facing rooms?+

Yes — Honey Sand carries enough warm pigment that it doesn't go flat or grey in cool daylight. The amber undertone is what stops it bleaching out.

Is Honey Sand suitable for a shower or wet-room?+

Honey Sand can be specified for wet-rooms with our standard microcement wet-zone build: primer, two base coats with reinforcing mesh, two finishing coats, then a tanking membrane and two coats of polyurethane sealer. The colour itself doesn't change suitability — finish and sealer do.

What does Honey Sand pair with from your range?+

We most often pair Honey Sand with the three closest shades in its family — see the pairings panel below. Beyond that, pairs with reclaimed bricks, walnut, copper, and undyed linen.
