Peaches 'n Cream

40

Peaches ’n Cream is a medium red-orange with muted, dusty undertones that soften its saturation. An LRV of 30.88 places it on the deeper end, giving it strong presence without becoming overly dark. It is well suited for dining rooms, accent walls, or spaces that can handle richer color.

The undertone remains warm and controlled. Peaches ’n Cream pairs well with Benjamin Moore White Dove and Simply White, while Hale Navy or Saybrook Sage introduce contrast and Coral Gables reinforces warmth.
