Sherwin Williams

Playa Arenosa

SW 9094

Playa Arenosa is a warm, light-to-medium beige from Sherwin-Williams with distinct orange undertones that give it a sandy appearance. At an LRV of 60, it reflects enough light to keep a room bright while still registering as more than a plain neutral. This shade works well in living rooms, open-plan areas, and transitional spaces.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Alabaster as a trim white, pairs alongside Accessible Beige for a tonal scheme, and contrasts effectively with Urbane Bronze or a sage green like Softened Green.
