Valspar

Burnished Apricot

V081-4

Burnished Apricot is a muted terracotta-peach with a browned undertone. It feels warm and dusty. A powder room, dining nook, or cabinet color suits it when pink would feel too sweet.

The medium depth adds more mood than a pale blush. Walnut and aged brass play well with the clay side. Cool daylight makes that earthiness more apparent on walls.

Burnished Apricot 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.
