I want to paint a bedroom a pale peach or apricot color. Any suggestions?

don’t do it! i tried it after tons of paint samples and felt like i was living in a vat of vodka sauce (that delicious but very orangey sauce). i think it can be nice as an accent but tends to overwhelm a room. also, this color family varies WILDLY depending on light. like in the morning my room was too cutesy pastel light orangey and in the evening/night it looked like the pasta sauce. it did look kind of nice in the afternoon sun for like an hour a day. if you want a nice warm bedroom color, benjamin moore has a lovely yellow palette that works well in different light.
As a general suggestion, always try to pick the ‘dirtiest’ and desaturated color that still feels like apricot/peach to you – otherwise it will feeling like you are living in a pool of sherbet.

What color is the floor? Woodwork? Fabrics/bedding? Light source? Apricot/peach can be tricky
