Sand Fossil

PPG1098-3

Sand Fossil is a pale sandy beige with a quiet peach-tan warmth. It is easy to live with. Hallways, guest rooms, and kitchens can take its warmth without becoming yellow cream.

Across full walls, it looks warmer beside cool counters and more neutral beside oak. Matte black accents work better than stark contrast. In homes with gray flooring throughout, check that the beige does not turn slightly pink.
