Apricot Ice
What Apricot Ice Actually Looks Like
Apricot Ice is a very light, airy off-white that carries a gentle warmth. It sits close to white on the value scale, but it never reads as stark or cool. In a sun-filled room it glows softly, almost like cream warmed by a hint of peach. In lower light it settles into a quiet, hushed warmth rather than going flat or gray.
Apricot Ice Undertones
The color reads primarily warm, with a subtle peachy quality that keeps it from looking like a straight yellow or a plain cream. That peachy warmth is understated, not obvious, so the color works as a near-neutral in rooms where you want white-ish walls without the coldness of true white. Surfaces around it matter: next to bright whites it will register as noticeably warm, and next to saturated oranges or reds it can feel washed out.
Where Apricot Ice Works Best
Because its LRV is very high, Apricot Ice works well in rooms where you want lightness without committing to pure white. It suits bedrooms, nurseries, and living spaces where a gentle, enveloping warmth is the goal. It also handles north-facing rooms reasonably well, since its warm base fights back against the bluish cast that north light tends to introduce. Avoid it in spaces that already skew very warm from natural materials like heavy honey-toned wood, since the peachy warmth can compound rather than balance.
Where to put Apricot Ice
In a bedroom Apricot Ice reads as restful and soft without feeling clinical. Pair it with warm white trim and natural linen textiles to keep the whole room in the same quiet register. Avoid cool-toned grays or silvers in the same space, as they will pull against the peachy warmth and make both choices look uncertain.
Its high lightness and gentle warmth make it a solid choice for a nursery. It feels welcoming without leaning heavily pink or yellow. Natural wood furniture in a medium tone grounds it well.
In a living room with good natural light, Apricot Ice keeps the space feeling open and bright while adding more personality than a flat white. In a living room with limited light, test a large sample first, because the warmth can feel a little heavy if the space is already dark.
Hallways often lack natural light, and Apricot Ice holds up better there than a cool white would, since the warm undertone compensates for the absence of sunlight. Keep trim in a clean warm white to define the space without creating a jarring contrast.

Colors that clash with Apricot Ice
Cool or blue-gray furniture, rugs, or accent walls will fight the peachy warmth of Apricot Ice, making the wall color look dingy rather than soft.
A very cool, bright white trim will make Apricot Ice walls look noticeably yellowed or peachy by contrast, which can feel unintentional.
Honey-orange pine or heavily orange-stained floors and cabinetry can amplify the peachy note in Apricot Ice until the room feels overly warm and one-dimensional.
Common questions
The Benjamin Moore color code is 2015-70. The precise LRV is 85.48, which places it in the very light range, close to white. The hex and RGB values render in the color swatch on this page.
Yes, better than most whites. Its warm peachy base counteracts the blue cast that north light introduces, so the walls stay feeling warm rather than going cold or gray.
It is listed as an interior color in our database. Check with your Benjamin Moore retailer about exterior availability before committing to it for outside use.
For most walls an eggshell gives you just enough sheen to wipe clean without making the warm tone look washed out. Flat or matte works in low-traffic bedrooms and nurseries. Save satin for trim or cabinetry rather than walls, since higher sheen can make a very light warm color look slightly peachy-pink under direct light.
