Delta Sandbar

2005-9C

Delta Sandbar is a medium taupe tan with a soft rosy-brown undertone. Its rosy-brown cast shows most clearly beside cool gray upholstery. Delta Sandbar works in dens, offices, and hallways needing more depth than beige.

Cool gray furniture may pull out the pink side, so test fabrics nearby. Bring in cream paint or textured wool around it. Dark bronze gives it definition. Sample it beside the fixed finishes before ordering paint.

Delta Sandbar 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.
