Soft Apricot Cream

RAL 260 55 15 Soft Apricot Cream sits at hue 260, lightness 55, and chroma 15, a warm gentle warm orange with the comforting softness of apricot cream and the muted warmth of sun-kissed sandstone. It brings approachable warmth to hospitality interior schemes, organic brand packaging elements, and residential living room feature walls. The moderate chroma at mid-high lightness creates a colour that is atmospheric yet easy to coordinate with neutral palettes.
