Glidden

Sultan Sand

PPG1068-3

For a kids' bath, Sultan Sand is a pale peach-tan with a desert warmth. The peach undertone warms tile without turning candy-colored. Across walls, it suits bedrooms, baths, and stucco exteriors where beige needs a little color.

The high LRV keeps it bright, though the peach can show strongly beside cool white. Build around cream trim, weathered wood, or muted teal. In rooms with red brick, sample carefully so the scheme does not turn too warm.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
