Spiced Apple Cider

1201

Spiced Apple Cider is a warm, muted red with clear brown and orange undertones that keep it from reading as a primary red. At an LRV of 26.56, it absorbs a fair amount of light and creates a grounded, medium-depth presence on walls. The brown component softens its red character, especially under cooler lighting.

White Dove and Manchester Tan pair well as lighter neutral counterparts, while Hale Navy provides a cool complementary contrast. Saybrook Sage offers a muted green balance that works alongside its warm, earthy base.

Spiced Apple Cider 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.
