Benjamin Moore

Powder Sand

2151-70 / OC-113

Powder Sand by Benjamin Moore is a near-white with subtle yellow undertones, producing a faintly warm cast over what reads as a clean, bright surface. Its LRV of 86.55 places it among high-reflectance colors, suitable for maximizing light in kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms. The yellow base keeps it from feeling clinical compared to pure whites.

It coordinates well with White Dove and Simply White for layered white schemes, while Kendall Charcoal and Hale Navy supply strong contrast. Palladian Blue introduces a cool complement that offsets the warm base.
