Light, playful and wonderfully inviting, Apricot Ice Cream by Little Knights is a delicate apricot shade mellowed by creamy undertones.
Its balance of peachy warmth and cream gives the colour a fresh, elegant character rather than an overly orange finish. Pair Apricot Ice Cream with warm whites, natural timber, muted greens and sandy neutrals for a relaxed scheme or use it to bring a cheerful wash of colour to bedrooms, nurseries and living spaces.
There is enough personality here to make an impact while the creamy base keeps the overall effect considered and easy to live with.
Little Knights is a high-performance, 100% VOC-free paint made in the UK, with a non-toxic, fume-free formulation designed to provide excellent coverage and pigment-rich colour without the usual paint smell.
Available across a broad range of Little Knights paint types and finishes.
Approximate coverage: 12m² per litre
Most surfaces typically require 1–2 coats. Strong or contrasting colours may need an additional coat.

Remove any loose or flaking material and fill holes or cracks with a suitable filler. Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded to provide a key.

Stir well before use and apply by brush, paint pad or roller. Avoid spreading the paint too thinly or reworking areas while still wet. Do not apply in damp or cold conditions below 10°C.
Doors, Skirtings & Trim
Prepare by removing loose material, filling imperfections and sanding glossy surfaces. Apply one or more coats using a brush, paint pad or roller.
