Benjamin Moore

Sand Dunes

1072

Sand Dunes is a creamy warm neutral with noticeable peach undertones that shift its appearance toward soft apricot in direct light. At an LRV of 70.11, it reflects a substantial amount of light while retaining enough pigment to read as more than a simple off-white. The peach cast becomes more pronounced against cooler surfaces.

It coordinates well with Benjamin Moore White Dove for trim, Muslin as a tonal companion, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal for deeper contrast. Palladian Blue can offset its warmth with a cooler accent.

Sand Dunes in Different Light
