Benjamin Moore

Sandalwood

273

Sandalwood reads as a deep sand tone with discernible yellow-green undertones that keep it from feeling purely warm. With an LRV of 33.34, it absorbs a considerable amount of light, producing a heavier presence on walls, particularly in rooms with limited natural light. The green shift becomes more apparent alongside pure yellows or reds.

Benjamin Moore White Sand or Manchester Tan pair closely in temperature, while Hale Navy provides strong tonal contrast. Backwoods deepens an earthy scheme, and Georgian Green draws out the subtle green undertone.
