Benjamin Moore

Apricot Chiffon

136

Apricot Chiffon is a warm and saturated peach with a clear orange undertone that gives it noticeable color presence on walls. With an LRV of 66.83 it reflects a good amount of light and maintains its warmth without washing out in well-lit rooms. Under incandescent lighting it will shift slightly more orange while daylight keeps it closer to peach.

It works alongside Pale Avocado or Gray Cashmere as cooler green-gray counterpoints and pairs with Newburyport Blue for a stronger complementary contrast. Coral Gables and Peach Parfait offer closely related warm tones for a layered scheme.
