Sherwin Williams

Sashay Sand

SW 6051

Sashay Sand is a light, muted pink-beige from Sherwin-Williams with warm rose undertones and a dusty, desaturated quality. Its LRV of 49 means it reflects a fair amount of light, placing it in the upper-mid range and making it appropriate for rooms that need a warm tone without significant darkening. The subtle pink cast distinguishes it from standard beiges and allows it to function as either a main wall color or a soft accent.

It coordinates with Sherwin-Williams Malted Milk and Angora for tone-on-tone layering, Amazing Gray for a cooler contrast, and Retreat or Urbane Bronze for deeper anchoring.
