Frosting on the Cake

V047-3

Frosting on the Cake is a peach-orange cream with real sweetness. It glows quickly. The color can flatter a powder room, vanity wall, or small breakfast corner where warmth is welcome.

On every wall, it may feel more apricot than neutral. Antique white trim suits it. Warm stone keeps the palette grounded. Blue-gray flooring will exaggerate the orange base, so compare the sample directly on site.

Frosting on the Cake 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.
