The Analysis
Taste of Summer 0982 is a vibrant, saturated apricot-orange that physically warms up a room by reflecting light with a golden glow. Because it has an LRV of 51.06, it sits in the middle ground—it's bright enough to enliven a space without being overwhelming, though it will make a room feel cozier and more enclosed rather than larger.
Due to its intensity, this is best used as a bold accent wall or in smaller, deliberate spaces like a powder room or a kitchen nook. It is too dominant to serve as a neutral backdrop for an entire home, but it provides a high-impact focal point.
LRV 51History & Origin
This shade leans toward a fresh, modern aesthetic, though it echoes the warm, sunset-hued palettes popular in mid-century interior design. It avoids the muted tones of historical heritage paints, opting instead for a clean, contemporary saturation.
How to Use It
Pair this with natural light wood tones like oak to lean into a warm, organic look, or use matte black hardware to ground the brightness with contrast. It works exceptionally well in kitchens or breakfast nooks where you want the space to feel lively and inviting.
The Mood
This is an inherently energizing and optimistic colour that promotes a sense of warmth and sociability. It’s a high-energy shade that encourages movement and conversation, making it excellent for areas where you want to feel active rather than restful.
Colour harmonies
Complementary
Opposite on the colour wheel — bold, high-contrast pairings. Use for a feature wall or furniture you want to command attention.
Analogous
Neighbouring hues — cohesive and calm, great for layered schemes that feel collected rather than matched.
Split complementary
Near-opposites for strong contrast with a little less tension than a pure complement. A favourite of interior designers.
Triadic
Three evenly spaced hues — balanced, vibrant, and versatile. Keep one dominant and use the others sparingly.
Tetradic (square)
Four hues in a square on the wheel — rich, dynamic palettes. Best when one colour leads and the others accent.
Monochromatic
Dark, mid, and light steps on the same hue — a failsafe gradient for trim, walls, and accents without shifting colour family.
