Avid Apricot

Avid Apricot begins as a orange color on paper, then shifts with every surface, shadow and neighboring material. Its brighter saturation keeps the hue present and expressive, even when the overall color is pale. Treat the digital swatch as an opening note, then watch a physical sample from morning light through evening lamps.
