Cape Sands

2004-6C

Cape Sands is a light peach cream, warmer than a standard off-white and gentler than apricot. The best rooms for it already have warm fixed finishes: travertine, honey oak, old pine, or cream tile. It can give a breakfast nook a sunnier mood without asking for strong yellow walls.

Keep the trim warm too. Blue-white paint next to this color will exaggerate the peach and make the room look less settled.

Cape Sands 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.
