Benjamin Moore

Soft Sand

2106-60

Soft Sand is a warm beige grounded by subtle pink and taupe undertones that become more apparent under warm artificial lighting. Its LRV of 61.88 places it in the upper-mid range, reflecting enough light to maintain brightness in moderately lit rooms. The pink cast is quiet but distinguishes it from purely yellow-based beiges.

Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter offers a slightly cooler neutral pairing, while White Dove provides a clean, warm trim option. Pale Oak reads as a close tonal neighbor, and Hale Navy or Kendall Charcoal supply strong dark contrast for accent walls or cabinetry.
