What people use a apricot screen for
Because Apricot is so light, a apricot screen doubles as a soft light source: prop a phone or tablet beside you as fill light on a video call, use it as a gentle reading light, or as a backlit surface for tracing.
As a saturated color, apricot makes a bold backdrop for product photos, thumbnails and streams, and a strong mood light for a desk or party.
Orange screens give a warm, sunset-like glow with almost no blue light, so they work well as a relaxed evening ambient light behind a desk or TV, as seasonal (autumn or Halloween) decoration, and as a high-visibility backdrop. Because orange sits between red and yellow, it also helps confirm that the red and green sub-pixels of a panel are both firing.
As a test pattern, a flat apricot field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the red, green and blue sub-pixels.
