Light browns are making a resurgence in cabinetry and interiors, and Eclipse and Shiloh keep releasing stains to match the natural trends of 2026. The newest: Maple Honey, a light-brown stain on maple.
Maple Honey on a Landes door, with Maple Natural, Maple Golden, and Maple Pebble chips for comparison.
Where it sits in the maple stain range
Set next to the existing maple stains, Maple Honey fills a gap: warmer and deeper than Natural, softer and less orange than Golden, and warmer than the gray-leaning Pebble. It's a quiet, mid-light brown that lets maple's figure show — a good answer for clients who want a wood kitchen that isn't white oak.
