Benjamin Moore

Tropical Sand

2101-70

Tropical Sand (BM) is a very light pink with subtle gray undertones that mute its warmth and keep it from reading as overtly rosy. At an LRV of 75.96, it reflects a high percentage of light, performing similarly to an off-white with a faint blush cast. The gray component stabilizes the pink, preventing it from shifting too warm under incandescent bulbs.

For coordinated palettes, it works alongside Benjamin Moore's White Heron, Calm, Hale Navy, Iced Mauve, and Prelude, supporting pairings that range from near-white layering to deeper accent contrasts.
