Heirloom Apricot

P009

Heirloom Apricot is a light peach-orange with a creamy apricot center. The creamy apricot base warms morning light without becoming a saturated orange. The color can warm a bedroom, breakfast nook, or bath with aged brass and ivory finishes.

On full walls, expect more peach than the chip shows. Keep nearby pinks controlled so the palette does not turn sugary. Warm wood suits it well. Cool blue-gray tile may make the apricot look louder, so sample next to fixed surfaces.
