Sand Dollar

SW 6099

Sand Dollar is a warm, light-medium neutral with muted orange and soft peach-beige undertones. Its LRV of 58 places it in the upper-mid reflectance range, brightening a room moderately while retaining enough color to avoid reading as plain off-white. The warm temperature makes it compatible with natural wood tones, stone, and brass hardware, and it is commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, and open-plan spaces.

It pairs with Sherwin-Williams Malted Milk for a close tonal match, Spun Sugar for a lighter step, Privilege Green for muted contrast, Slate Tile as a cooler midtone, and Alabaster for trim.
