About Sun Blossom

In north-facing rooms the cool daylight tones down Sun Blossom's warmth, so it can read a little grayer; south- and west-facing light brings the warmth forward. It's a good fit for open-plan living areas, hallways, living rooms and bedrooms. It's very close to Peach Yogurt (150); you'd mostly see the difference side by side.
