Sandy Beaches

946 / OC-87

Sandy Beaches is an off-white with sandy peach undertones, registering a high LRV of 79.65. At this reflectance level, it functions nearly as a white but carries enough warmth to distinguish it from cooler alternatives. The peach quality is most visible in shaded areas or when compared side by side with a true white.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cloud White sit in a similar tonal range, while Feather Down reinforces the warm base. Hale Navy and Kendall Charcoal offer strong dark accents for definition and contrast.
