Apricot Blush

8003-8A

Apricot Blush is a pale peach-pink with a warm cream base. The blush is real. It can flatter bedrooms, dressing rooms, or baths that need a soft wall color.

Across larger walls, the peach side may become more noticeable, especially in afternoon sun. Use ivory on trim, then add light oak or warm stone. Cool gray flooring can push the color more pink, so test the sample in place.

Apricot Blush 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.
