Delicious Melon

SW 6653

Delicious Melon (hex #F5C894) is a warm orange-toned neutral with peach undertones that soften its intensity and pull it toward the lighter end of the warm palette. With an LRV of 63, it reflects a good amount of light, maintaining brightness while delivering noticeable color presence. The peach cast is most visible in daylight, where the orange base moderates into a muted warmth.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Coral Reef and Summer Day in analogous arrangements, while cooler pairings such as Naval or Rainstorm counterbalance its warmth, and Alabaster provides a clean neutral trim option.
