Apricot Beige is a warm, medium orange-beige solid — at #D4A76A it reads as a golden, slightly peachy beige with the warmth of dried apricot. The name is descriptive and accurate. Code 548 carries no confirmed production year range in the records, and three documented community examples place it in the category of historical colors awaiting fuller documentation.
