What Color Is Apricot Lily, Really?
Apricot Lily reads as a warm red tone — light — bounces daylight without going clinical. The notes below cover how Behr 230A-3 behaves in different light and the closest matches at competing US brands.
Best Rooms and Uses for Apricot Lily
Apricot Lily is an easy whole-room color for living spaces and bedrooms, and light enough to carry onto trim or a ceiling if you want a soft, seamless look. Soft pinks flatter bedrooms and nurseries; deeper ones make a confident statement.
How Lighting Changes Apricot Lily
At LRV 66, Apricot Lily is a light color that bounces daylight around a room without tipping into stark white. Its red undertone is the part to watch: it gets picked up by whatever sits next to it, so test it against your trim, floor and the room's main light before committing. It holds its undertone in most exposures, which is what makes light shades like this so forgiving room to room.
Most complaints about Apricot Lily are a light mismatch. Upload a photo of your actual room and see it on your walls — then ask for the same wall in north light or evening lamps before you buy a single sample.
