What is Apricot?

Apricot is orange at its most restrained.

Originating in China over 4,000 years ago, apricot was first known as a color before a fruit.

Warm, without heat. Bright, without force.

Because subtlety lasts longer than intensity.

Ideal for calm interiors. Use with soft light and natural textures.
