Benjamin Moore

Apricot Beige

1205

Apricot Beige is a warm mid-tone that blends brown and beige into a muted apricot base. With an LRV of 54.94 it reflects a moderate amount of light and reads warmer in south-facing rooms while holding steady under cooler north light. The brown content keeps it from leaning too orange and grounds the color in a neutral range.

It coordinates well with Simply White or Cloud White on trim while Kendall Charcoal provides a strong dark contrast on doors or cabinetry. For a tonal warm scheme Golden Straw and Chestertown Buff sit comfortably alongside it.
