White Sand

SW 9582

White Sand (SW, hex #EDECE7) is a warm white with gray undertones that sits at an LRV of 84, placing it in the high-reflectance range suitable for maximizing ambient light in a room. The gray cast prevents it from reading as stark or cool, instead lending a slightly muted warmth compared to pure whites. It coordinates well within the Sherwin-Williams lineup alongside Accessible Beige, Shoji White, Urbane Bronze, Iron Ore, and Sea Salt, offering flexibility across neutral and contrasting schemes.

White Sand in Different Light

Light temperature is measured in Kelvin: a warm 2700K bulb pulls colors toward yellow, while 5000K daylight reads cooler and truer. Check the color at the time of day you actually use the room.

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.
