Benjamin Moore

Seaside Sand

2110-40

Seaside Sand is a dusty taupe with an LRV of 36.62, placing it in the mid-tone range where it provides moderate contrast against both light and dark adjacent surfaces. It carries subtle warm red undertones beneath its dominant gray-brown character, which become more noticeable under warm lighting. The color reads as grounded and neutral without skewing obviously pink or brown.

Benjamin Moore White Dove and Ballet White complement it as lighter warm neutrals. Newburg Green or Hale Navy offer deeper accent contrast, and Etruscan Red draws out the underlying warmth in the taupe base.
