Apricot Froth

M205

Apricot Froth is a light apricot orange with a creamy, sunlit base. It feels sweet but not pale. Apricot Froth can warm a breakfast nook, vanity area, or small bedroom when beige feels flat.

On broader walls, it will show more orange than the name's frothiness suggests. Cream trim works well with natural wood. Blue-white accents may sharpen it. Western sun calls for a brightest-hour sample.

Apricot Froth 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.
