Frank Sinatra once said, "Orange is the happiest color." And if that notion holds true, its cousin on the coral side, Apricot, is not lacking in the same sentiments. Taking cues from its namesake and reminiscent of the warmth cast out by the last rays of sunset, his hue is equally as soothing as it is invigorating. In its palest whisper of a shade it offers a cloak of softness to quiet and calm a space. And when used as a more vibrant color note, it accentuates with a certain boldness yet subtle and refined restraint. Apricot brings forth a vivaciousness that wakes up the senses and aesthetics of a room, energizing every other element with lively contrast, making it the perfect ode to summer's farewell and the coming days of fall.
