Sherwin Williams

Soft Apricot

SW 6352

Soft Apricot is a warm, light orange with peach undertones and an LRV of 50, placing it at the midpoint of the reflectance scale. The color has moderate saturation, reading as a muted apricot rather than a bold orange, and it maintains a consistent warm cast under both natural and artificial lighting. It works well on full walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or hallways.

For a coordinated palette, Sherwin-Williams White Flour and Creamy serve as lighter companions, Coral Reef extends the warm tone range, Homburg Gray adds cool-toned contrast, and Naval provides a complementary anchor.
