Aloe Blossom

MQ4-33

Aloe Blossom is a muted coral with an orange-red undertone. It is not green. Use it as an intentional color on a vanity or powder room wall.

Painted furniture can take it well when the surrounding walls are warm and simple. Cream trim keeps the coral friendly, but crisp white will sharpen the contrast. Terracotta tile can make it earthier. In strong sun, sample broadly because the coral side brightens fast.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
