Farrow & Ball

Light Sand

No. CC2

Light Sand is a high-LRV neutral at 84.6, with soft beige undertones and a faint yellow warmth that keeps it from reading too stark. It reflects a significant amount of light, making it functional in hallways, open-plan living areas, and bedrooms where brightness matters. The color works well as a whole-room wash or ceiling tone.

Pointing and Wimborne White sit comfortably alongside it on trim and woodwork, while Pale Powder introduces a cooler shift on adjacent walls. Down Pipe or Railings can anchor the scheme on doors or cabinetry.

Light Sand in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.
