Citrus Blossom

123

Citrus Blossom is a mid-tone melon orange with a warm undertone. An LRV of 56.61 keeps it light enough for larger areas without becoming pastel. It works in kitchens or dining rooms where a warm orange is acceptable in casual settings.

Sunny Side Up and Golden Honey build a related warm scheme. Coventry Gray or Edgecomb Gray cool the palette, and Simply White keeps trim bright.

Citrus Blossom 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.
