Hello! I am looking for a D&D 5e domain for a god whose philosophy is about Honor. I looked around the Internet, but could not find a specific Honor Domain. Thanks!

I almost suggested Order but I don't think that quite fits. What kind of spells would an Honor domain even have?

No rule is inviolate
I'd think Order would be perfect. Honor is about unwavering commitment to a creed, such as Dragonlance's Solamnic Knights "My Honor is My Life." Order would be a solid fit. By adhering to a code, there is reliance and security in that code (aka order).
There's often confusion about Order and Lawful, suggesting that people blindly follow laws in doing so. But, in a cosmic divine sense, Law is about combatting the influence of Chaos, providing a stability to the universe that we can expect tomorrow for the sun to rise and for crops to grow with water and sun.
Pathfinder's 3rd edition version had a Glory domain, with a subset of Honor. Not sure if those would be useful, but here's the link to their free rules.

I would select an deity first, then choose a domain than matches. A cleric's ethos should depend more on their deity than the exact spells they can cast. I can think of War, Light, Life, Order, or even Forge (dwarf) domain deities who value strict codes of honor.
If you want your class mechanics to reflect a strict code, consider a paladin multiclass.

It's not "Rouge"... That's makeup.
Order isn't a perfect fit, but it's the closest among the official domains.
If you're open to semi-official domains, Solidarity from Plane Shift: Amonkhet could also be made to work: https://media.wizards.com/2017/downloads/magic/plane-shift_amonkhet.pdf
As could the UA Protection domain: https://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/UA_Cleric.pdf

Good catch @RogueJK - I remember liking Protection quite a bit, and Solidarity is a nice oft-forgotten one as well.
