Apricot

Apricot

My favorite fruit is the apricot and I love the color apricot. A pinky peach, it is a softer version of coral and orange. It is an incredibly flattering color to paint your walls - everyone looks good against an apricot backdrop. Pantone's Color of the Year for 2023 is Magenta. I am personally not a fan of magenta. I think I'll ignore it and make Apricot my Chinoiserie Chic Color of the Year.

I love this living room with its peach or coral or apricot walls, purple flocked skirted chairs on a yellow and blue rug, a pink tufted ottoman with white fringe trim, a black Klismos coffee table, a pair of canvas palm trees, a blue couch with pink and blue pillows and an antique glass mirror over the fireplace. A very Palm Beach, Hollywood Regency, Mario Buatta vibe. Mario Buatta loved this paint color.

Fuchsia & Apricot

I love the color palette of this breakfast banquette space in a Victorian London townhouse. The fruit watercolors are 19th century Chinese. The banquette is covered in a fuchsia and orange ikat by Manuel Canovas called Boheme in colorway Rose and Orange. Ikat and chinoiserie is a wonderful combination as is pink and orange.
