Whipped Apricot

2007-2B

Whipped Apricot is a bright apricot cream with a clear orange warmth. The high LRV lets the apricot warmth bounce around breakfast rooms. Bedrooms, breakfast rooms, or baths can use the warmth without becoming heavy beige.

On full walls, the apricot will show more than it does on the chip. Warm white trim, cane, or natural linen suit it. If the room gets strong afternoon sun, sample carefully because the warmth can bloom.

Whipped 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.

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.
