Sand Drift

N310-1

Sand Drift is a bright warm greige, close to sun dried plaster. It reflects plenty of light and works as an easy neutral for open rooms, ceilings, and hallways. The warmth stays muted.

Pair with oak floors, cream trim, or matte black accents. If the home already has crisp white doors, compare samples together so the trim still looks intentional.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
