What color is Benjamin Moore Glowing Apricot?
Benjamin Moore Glowing Apricot 165 is a light, sun-warmed peach with a soft creamy cast. Its #F3CF9C color value gives it gentle orange-yellow undertones rather than a pink or coral look, keeping the shade bright but not overly saturated. In daylight, Glowing Apricot can read like a pale apricot wash, while warmer evening bulbs may bring out its richer golden-peach side. It suits kitchens, breakfast rooms, nurseries, and south-facing living spaces where a little warmth is welcome on the walls. Pair it with chalky whites, light honey-toned wood, natural linen, and muted sage or dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Glowing Apricot
Glowing Apricot has an LRV of 63.31% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 63.31%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
