Apricot Mocha

V045-5

Apricot Mocha is a deep terra-cotta brown with a warm orange base. The mocha reads clay, not coffee. It can anchor a powder room, fireplace wall, or lower cabinets when the room needs earthy strength.

LRV 22 means it darkens quickly without daylight. Use warm white on the trim, then bring in black iron or handmade tile. Against orange-toned wood, it may feel too close, so add pale contrast.

Apricot Mocha 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.
