Benjamin Moore

Phoenix Sand

Phoenix Sand is a light peach with pink undertones that stay warm without turning tan. Its LRV of 60.53 keeps it relatively bright and it can look lighter in strong daylight. It’s suited to bedrooms, sitting rooms, or powder rooms where a warm pastel reads clean rather than beige.

Pair it with Benjamin Moore Ballet White or White Heron for trim and nearby neutrals. For more contrast, Kendall Charcoal or Hale Navy provides a darker edge, while First Light can maintain a softer, related range.

Phoenix 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.

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.
