Melting Sunset

8002-14C

Melting Sunset is a warm peach-orange with a soft clay undertone. The peach-clay undertone warms pale woods and casual dining spaces quickly. Try it for a powder room, casual dining nook, or painted dresser when beige feels flat.

On all four walls, the color may become too sweet if the room gets strong afternoon sun. Cream trim suits it better than stark white. Dark green accents can steady the peach. Gray carpet may make it look sharper.

Melting Sunset 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.
