Apple Froth

409

Apple Froth is a light yellow-green with high brightness and an LRV of 76.5, meaning it reflects a large share of incoming light and can make smaller rooms feel more open. The hue leans crisp rather than muddy, with enough yellow to stay warm under cooler north-facing light. It coordinates well with Chartreuse and Fernwood Green for a tonal green scheme across connected rooms.

For contrast, Charcoal Slate or Hale Navy on trim and accents creates a defined boundary, while Palladian Blue on a ceiling introduces a cooler complement overhead.

Apple Froth in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
