Benjamin Moore

Apricot Tint

86

Apricot Tint is a light warm shade with a gentle orange undertone that keeps it from reading as plain cream. With an LRV of 75.17 it reflects a substantial amount of light and maintains a soft warm cast across most lighting conditions. It sits between a true peach and a neutral off-white making it usable on larger wall areas without strong color buildup.

Simply White or Ballet White pair cleanly as trim colors while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy offer darker contrasts. Peach Parfait provides a closely related warm accent for adjacent surfaces.
