Stampin' Up!® Color

Basic Information

  • Soft Subtles 2005 to 2010

Apricot Appeal is a light, rich peach-orange with a soft, sweet feel. It suggests apricots, peaches and cantaloupe, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as apricot, peach, melon or sherbet, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

Apricot Appeal is a light orange shade with a warm yellow undertone. It sits in the orange family, close enough to yellow to feel sunny and approachable rather than fiery or intense. Its hue of around 33° gives it a peachy apricot character, its saturation of about 44% gives it gentle warmth without harsh brightness, and its value of about 100% makes it feel luminous, fresh and cheerful.
