Cocoa Sand

1122

Cocoa Sand is a light warm neutral between beige and brown with muted undertones. Its LRV of 56.12 gives it moderate reflectance and a soft presence. It works in living rooms, bedrooms, or open areas where a warm neutral is needed.

White Sand and Lenox Tan keep the palette cohesive. Newburg Green or Hale Navy add contrast, while Pale Oak supports a lighter adjacent neutral.

Cocoa Sand in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
