Latest Comments Sara McLean Hi Kelly-this is Sara McLean from Dunn-Edwards. To lighten DE6150 Gourmet Honey, DE6149 Cream Washed is about 33% lighter than Gourmet Honey and DE6148 Antique Linen is a little over 60% lighter than Gourmet Honey. These will provide great indications of how the color will lighten. If you want exactly 50% lighter, the tint center can create a custom color for you as well. Happy painting!
