Benjamin Moore

Sandy Shores

948 / OC-99

Sandy Shores is a warm off-white with an LRV of 75.86, reflecting a high percentage of light and functioning close to white in well-lit spaces. Its warm undertones, which lean slightly yellow-beige, become more apparent in rooms with limited natural light or alongside cooler colors. It maintains a clean appearance without the starkness of a pure white.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Cloud White are close tonal matches, while Chelsea Gray or Hale Navy create defined contrast. Palladian Blue provides a soft cool complement.
