Warm Cider

2003-1C

Warm Cider is a ripe apricot orange with a soft coral edge. It brings warmth quickly. A breakfast nook, powder room, pantry, or painted furniture piece can carry this cheerful color.

The orange becomes stronger under warm bulbs. Pair it with cream, cane, or warm butcher block. For large walls, sample at night too, because the color can feel more saturated after sunset.

Warm Cider 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.
