Benjamin Moore

Glowing Apricot

165

Glowing Apricot is a medium peach with golden brown undertones that ground its warmth and prevent it from appearing overly pink. At an LRV of 63.31, it reflects moderate light while maintaining warmth, making it suitable for living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms. The golden base adds depth beyond a typical peach.

This color coordinates with Benjamin Moore White Down and Mannequin Cream for neutral pairing, Newburg Green and Hale Navy for contrast, and Woodlawn Blue or Palladian Blue for soft complementary options.
